Italy
Velvety, flavourful hummus made from chickpeas supplied by the Libera Terra cooperative. The members of the cooperative cultivate the chickpeas on land that once belonged to the Mafia, which was later seized by Italian authorities. The bulk of their produce comes from the regions of Sicily, Calabria, Apulia and Campania. The hummus is seasoned with extra virgin olive oil and cumin and is ideal as a dip for vegetables, on sandwiches or as a snack on its own. One jar weighs 270 grams.

Background
What's left after the Mafia has gone?
Libera Terra Mediterraneo is a cooperative that brings together a dozen smaller cooperatives in Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Apulia. All members of the cooperatives produce grain for pasta along with pulses. In Sicily, they also grow tomatoes. Libera Terra's mission is to create self-sufficient, long-term cooperatives in areas that once belonged to the Mafia. They produce high-quality food in harmony with the environment and people. The aim is to create a sustainable economic system based on legal compliance and social justice.
