  • How Monocultivar Biancolilla PGI was born

    Monocultivar Biancolilla PGI is produced from the olives of this typical Sicilian variety, Biancolilla. The plant is very rustic and has a great yield, which is why it is widely used for oil production. Its particular name derives from the fact that the fruits, during maturation, go from very light green to purple. In nature, it thrives even in very arid territories thanks to the characteristic of its roots: they expand very deep and this allows them to reach the necessary nutrients.

The prized extra virgin olive oil

From the Biancolilla variety a very fine extra virgin olive oil is obtained which contains various hints of typically Sicilian fruit and vegetables, medium-light fruity, floral notes of tomato and artichoke, green grass and green almond. Well balanced bitter and spicy flavour. In the kitchen, this oil lends itself to various uses both as a condiment and as an ingredient, even in the preparation of desserts. In fact, it effectively replaces other less valuable fats such as butter and seed oil.

Ulteriori Informazioni

The quality of our Monocultivar Biancolilla PGI is born in the field but is refined in the oil mill thanks to our incessant research work. By combining study and experience, we have in fact created an innovative system that allows you to set, and therefore manage, every single process of the production plant based on a (secret) "recipe" personalized by cultivar, origin and state of ripeness. Thus we can standardize and enhance the organoleptic properties of each olive variety, drawing only the best from each and thus creating our special blends.

The olive at the base of our Monocultivar Biancolilla PGI is used almost exclusively to obtain fine single-varietal or blended extra virgin oils from its pressing. The plants are vigorous and the secular ones are majestic, with a very wide trunk and a foliage that tends to develop in height and width even if in a disorderly and unharmonious manner. The fruit is not very large, it has an almost elliptical shape, with a pointed top and a rounded base. It is a variety that produces every other year and guarantees an average yield of a maximum of 20%, probably due to the fact that the fruit pulp is not very consistent.

Monocultivar Biancolilla PGI oil is produced in our factories starting from olives that arrive from our network of suppliers in the Ribera and Caltabellotta area. We only promote growers capable of providing high quality local raw materials, grown organically. And above all, we support small production: we maintain an intrinsic bond with the local community made up of olive growers and small producers who give our mills the best of their production. With a view to sustainable development and with an important added value for the territory.

Monocultiva Biancolilla PGI can be recognized by the specific brand on the packaging. It guarantees that the oil has been produced according to the specifications established by the "Consortium for the valorisation and protection of extra virgin olive oil PGI Sicily". In addition to the high quality standards (the same ones we follow for all our products), the specification requires that the oil be pressed within the Sicilian territory and only from olives grown on the island. A standard that we also follow for all the other extra virgin olive oils we produce.
