MATURATION

The grapes, fully ripe and selected in the vineyard, are harvested between the first ten days of August and the first ten days of September. After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in steel silos for about 15 - 20 days at a controlled temperature between 12 and 15 degrees. About 2 months of maturation in steel follow, after which the wine is bottled and left to refine in the bottle for a couple of months.

TASTING NOTES

Bright straw yellow. On the nose it releases hints of fruit, apricot and white-fleshed peach, enriched with orange blossom. Broad on the palate, with marked savouriness and minerality.

PAIRING

Ideal with fish dishes and fried fish, white meats and fresh cheeses. A serving temperature between 12 and 14 degrees is recommended.

GRAPE VARIETY: Catarratto Lucido

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 12/14°

The first Sicilian IGP

Cutrera IGP Sicilia is our blend of the finest and most representative native cultivars, Biancolilla and Nocellara del Belice. It is the extra virgin olive oil that best expresses Sicilian character, and it was also the first oil to obtain the “Sicilia” Protected Geographical Indication. A great all-rounder in the kitchen: perfect for giving body and pepperiness to vegetable soups, excellent on carpaccio and with pinzimonio.

The prized Cherry Tomato of Sicily

Our Cherry tomatoes are harvested exclusively in south-eastern Sicily, their natural home. Their sweet, full flavor is concentrated in this sauce, prepared according to the tradition of Sicilian summer preserves. Perfect on pasta, and just as good on pizza, side dishes, meat or fish.

Sicilian organic durum wheat for a special pasta

Our busiate, bronze-drawn and slowly dried at low temperature, are made with semolina from ancient Sicilian durum wheats. The shape comes from Trapani and is distinctive for its helical twist, which holds the sauce.

A great classic with quality ingredients

The Sicilian recipe par excellence, our Sugo alla Norma is made with eggplant fried in Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, which makes the frying lighter and tastier. Finish with a drizzle of raw oil and grated salted ricotta.

Spicy, but not too spicy

Arrabbiata in its Sicilian version is hot but perfectly balanced. We make it with fresh tomatoes and other Sicilian ingredients chosen strictly for their excellent quality.

Caponata: all the goodness of Sicilian eggplant

Caponata is the Sicilian recipe par excellence, a mainstay of the island's food culture. There are many versions; we have chosen the most widespread one, frying the vegetables in our fine Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil. Excellent as an antipasto or as a side for fish or meat.

Only olives, extra virgin olive oil and herbs

It is the most classic of Sicilian antipasti and, once upon a time, it opened important family lunches. These green Nocellara olives are prepared according to tradition, with nothing but our extra virgin olive oil and wild herbs.

Only tomatoes, parsley and Sicilian sun

“Capuliatu” in Sicilian means “minced”. Sun-dried tomatoes, following the traditional recipe, are minced, dressed with oil and parsley and preserved. Excellent as an antipasto on bruschetta or crostini.

A Caltagirone ceramic bottle with two faces: the Moor on one side, the Moorish woman on the other. Shaped and painted by hand, it holds the finest selection of our IGP Sicilia extra virgin olive oil.

Authentic Caltagirone ceramic

Every bottle is made by hand by the Ripullo ceramics workshop in Caltagirone and comes with the certificate of guarantee of authentic ceramic hanging from its neck. Caltagirone is the capital of Sicilian ceramics: no two pieces are identical, and the small differences in line and colour are the signature of handwork.

When the oil is gone the bottle stays: it is an object to keep, not packaging to throw away.

The two faces

The Moor and the Moorish woman are not two bottles: they are the two sides of the same one. On one side the man, with beard and moustache; on the other the woman, with her earrings. It is the tradition of the Moor's heads on Sicilian balconies, tied to an old Palermo legend of love and betrayal: the tag hanging from the neck tells it in full.

The oil: Extra virgin IGP Sicilia

Inside is our finest selection of extra virgin olive oil with Protected Geographical Indication Sicilia.

• Harvest: hand-picked, from 1 October to 15 November
• Appearance: deep green
• Aroma: medium intensity, with floral notes of artichoke, freshly cut grass and fresh aromatic herbs
• Taste: intense, bitter with a lingering pungency

In the kitchen

Ideal on vegetable soups, marinated fish and broths. Excellent raw on beef carpaccio and as a dip with raw vegetables.

The format

One ceramic bottle of 0.50 l, with the Moor on one side and the Moorish woman on the other.
