Crosta means rind. It is where our curiosity begins.
An independent notebook
Crosta Palermo is a bilingual editorial guide to discovering Sicilian dairy traditions through the city. It brings together introductions to cheeses, suggestions for market visits and a flexible walk. It is not a tour operator, a booking service or an official tourism website.
What we do, and what we do not claim
The guide uses public tourism and food-production references. Tasting sequences and walking ideas are editorial suggestions, not reports of visits to individual businesses. Photographs illustrate the subjects discussed; image sources and licenses are listed below. We publish no paid listings or invented reviews.
Photography & licenses
Photographs are loaded from Wikimedia Commons. They illustrate the subject, not a claim of a recent visit. Market photographs are historical. Display crops and resizing are applied; the photographs retain their listed licenses. No endorsement by the photographers is implied.
These references underpin the market geography and introductions to protected cheeses. For individual products, always consult the producer’s label and current specification.

Both cookies are limited to this hostname and path /, with SameSite=Lax and Secure on HTTPS. These settings do not share the cookies with other provider subdomains.

This static site does not send consent records to an analytics or advertising service and does not maintain a central consent database.
Use “Cookie settings” in the footer to reopen your choices at any time. “Reject optional” removes the language cookie and stores your refusal. You can keep reading in either language using the language links. Deleting the consent cookie in your browser makes the notice appear again. If browser settings block storage, we cannot remember your choice between pages.
Photographs are requested from Wikimedia Commons, which receives information such as your IP address to deliver them. Those requests are not controlled by the language-cookie switch. Images use a no-referrer policy. Hosting access logs and their retention are controlled by the site operator separately from these cookies.
