Olive Oil
-
In Spain, another word for the moth is the ‘nocturnal butterfly,’ as they visit the flowers that open during the nighttime. Their presence in the groves of Nobleza del Sur can provide information about the quality of the olives and the annual harvest. To help bring attention to issues of climate change and the overuse of pesticides in agriculture, both of which threaten the world’s butterfly population, the producers of Nobleza del Sur chose the butterfly to represent their early harvest organic NIGHT extra virgin olive oil. Produced from a selected blend of extra virgin olive oils, from olives harvested on their private family estate, this fruity, sweet and harmonious oil exhibits complex aromas reminiscent of the many different plants coexisting in their olive groves. The oil has many applications, both in the kitchen, where it can be used on salads and in the preparation of sauces, and on the dinner table as a finishing oil on fish and other meats. -

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. -
