A limited production gem from ancient Sicilian olive groves.

This oil is from the estate of the Consiglio family near the Greek temple ruins of Selinunte on the southern coast of Sicily, where Nocellara del Belice olives have been cultivated since the 7th Century B.C. The oil here is prized for its intense green color and distinctive aromas that combine fruity and herbal components with a hint of spice. Hand picked, cold pressed and unfiltered, only 833 cases of this artisanal oil are produced each harvest. Especially recommended for Sicilian and other southern Italian dishes featuring eggplant, peppers, garlic and seafood (especially swordfish).

Harvest date: 2007/2008"
