Since 2004, Novara di Sicilia has been recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, a well-deserved title that acknowledges its authenticity and unique charm. Along the narrow cobblestone streets of the historic center, visitors can admire the charming churches and pastel-colored buildings that harmoniously blend with the lush greenery of the surrounding nature.


But if there is one thing Novara di Sicilia is famous for, it is undoubtedly its cheese Maiorchino. With its distinctive taste and the artisanal craftsmanship passed down through generations, Maiorchino has become the culinary symbol of this enchanting mountain village. Thanks to the efforts of the local association Circolo Sportivo Olimpia "Il Maiorchino," the cheese is making its way towards a prestigious UNESCO recognition to become part of the world gastronomic heritage best practices.
