First pressed extra virgin olive oil from the Monti Iblei — a Protected Designation of Origin in southeastern Sicily — pressed within hours of harvest, unfiltered, exactly as it le ft the grove. A blend of three native Sicilian varieties: Nocellara del Belice, Nocellara Etnea e Messinese, and Biancolilla, grown on the same select family farms every season. Fruity at first. Then grassy. Then a slow heat at the back of your palate that means the olives came from somewhere specific, tended by someone who knew exactly when to harvest them. This is what Sicilian extra virgin olive oil should taste like — whole, alive, nothing lost. The Sicilians have always had this oil in their kitchens. Not for special occasions — for Tuesday. Over bread, over fish, over a bowl of pasta that suddenly tastes like it took all day. That's what a good first-pressed olive oil does. It just makes everything taste like you meant it. Show more
