Produced by the Asaro Brothers Company in Partanna, Sicily, this oil is a first cold-pressed, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but it is also an early harvest (October), single-olive varietal (Nocellara del Belice), unfiltered oil. When the tins are first opened, the oil is cloudy with a green hue, herbaceous aroma and 'pizzicante' flavor. (Pizzicante is an Italian phrase that describes the strong flavor that grips the back of your throat and is characteristic of most Tuscan olive oils.) As the oil ages it will mellow slightly and become clearer as the sediment drops to the bottom of the tin. The colorful packaging is beautiful enough to leave on your countertop and makes a terrific gift!/br/brThe Sicily olive oil has received awards for quality that ranked it as the best olive oil in the world. The oil has a rich flavor profile, with notes of artichokes, almonds and a peppery finish. Its bottled immediately after the harvest in mid-October in a dark bottle to keep it fresh longer. We freshly cold press our olives within hours of picking to obtain our premium extra virgin olive oil. A monovarietal oil, only made with 100% Nocellara del Belice olives from the province of Trapani in Sicily./br/brGTIN: 656285170350. Best Sellers Rank: See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food.
