Olive Oil
-
This mild-intensity extra virgin olive oil produced from Arbequina, Arbosana and Koroneiki olives has notable aromas of grass and banana. Try pairing with leafy green salads and fruit salads. -
This exceptional Arbosana Extra-Virgin is a very interesting and complex, delicate oil with a notable flowery aroma characteristic of this uncommon variety. This early harvest oil is very unique, spicy, herbal with confectionary nuttiness and chocolate complemented by sweet fruity flavors with a hint of cinnamon. This distinctive EVOO is well balanced, satisfying, and full bodied. -
A medium intensity oil with low bitterness, strong pungency, and moderate fruitiness. It is quite complex, with several ripe, fruity flavors of butter, nuttiness, and apple – plus some bright, spicy, herbaceous flavors of mint, cinnamon, and chili pepper, especially green apple and black pepper. It is very nicely balanced and relatively fresh tasting. -
Extremely robust and sky-high polyphenols (724 ppm/kg) summarize this year’s 2024 crush green Coratina’s primary characteristics. It is a highly complex and harmonious extra virgin olive oil full of fruity-sweet aromas, including green almond, artichoke stem, and tomato leaf. You will experience surprisingly bright, balanced bitterness and spicy, fruity flavors upon tasting. The finish has hints of wild chicory, bitter green almond, and black pepper. Drizzle over pizza, soft cheese, hearty soups, grilled steak, or salmon. -
Made exclusively from Biancolilla variety olives hand-harvested from mid-October to mid-November in the area of Ribera e Caltabellotta in central-western Sicily. This medium intensity has a floral aroma with hints of artichoke and a slightly bitter finish with pronounced spiciness. Try this oil on vegetable soups, marinated fish, fish soup, beef carpaccio and raw vegetables. -
Harvested early from green Moresca and Biancolilla olives and bottled soon after crushing, this limited-edition olive oil captures the true taste of the Sicilian olive harvest. Fresh and intensely fruity, it reveals pronounced notes of freshly cut grass, aromatic herbs, artichoke, and green almond. The flavor is full-bodied and enveloping, with a lively balance of bitterness and spice that reflects its freshness. Partially filtered through fine cotton filters that remove only the larger solids, Frescolio maintains a naturally cloudy appearance as smaller olive particles remain suspended. Over time, a light, natural deposit may form at the bottom of the bottle — a hallmark of authentic, minimally filtered olive oils. Enjoy it raw over freshly baked bread, bruschetta, or legume soups. It also enhances grilled meats, hearty winter stews, and robust Mediterranean dishes. -
