Granita traces to Arab sherbet, brought to 9th-century Sicily by the Aghlabid conquest. The Arab snow-and-honey form evolved during the Norman period into the modern flavoured-ice version, sweetened with cane sugar from the new Sicilian sugar refineries. The pairing with the topknot brioche is a 19th-century Palermitan ritual that survives intact.
