Step aside, ice cream and gelato: granita is having a moment in Toronto right now, and there's one shop in the city to thank for that. Early into her time working at Futura, Loseto began filming and posting TikTok videos of her scooping and sampling granita at the end of her shifts. So, all that being said, what, exactly, is granita, and why are people in Toronto fixating on it specifically right now?
