How Monocultivar Nocellara del Belice PGI was born

Monocultivar Nocellara del Belice PGI is produced from the olives of this typical Sicilian variety, the Nocellara del Belice, typical of the central part of the island. Its large fruits with crunchy pulp produce an oil with a very intense fruitiness and strong sensations of bitterness and spiciness. This cultivar is excellent both for oil production and as a table olive, thanks to the fact that the olives are large and fleshy. The variety is also known as Mazara or Castelvetrano olive, its areas of choice.

The extra virgin olive oil useful in the kitchen

An extra virgin olive oil with a typical yellow to green color is obtained from the Nocellara del Belice variety. It reveals itself on the nose as medium-intensity fruity with characteristic notes of tomato, fresh aromatic herbs, artichoke and almond. Its taste is bitter, not very spicy. In the kitchen, like all quality extra virgin olive oils, it gives its best when raw as a condiment. But its high smoke content also makes it an ally for frying.

Further Information

The quality of our Monocultivar Nocellara del Belice 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 Nocellara del Belice PGI is prized because the trees from which it comes are prized. This cultivar is in fact one of the most appreciated because it is the origin of another important Sicilian PDO (Protected Designation of Origin). In Sicily, it has been present since the time of Magna Graecia and has always been admired for its performance at the table as well as in the oil mill. The fruits are in fact very large and juicy. Yet the trees are not very large and rarely appear majestic even if they are centuries-old.

The Monocultivar Nocellara del Belice PGI oil is produced in our factories starting from the olives that arrive from our network of suppliers in the Partanna area, Campobello di Mazara, in the province of Trapani. 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 Nocellara del Belice PGI can be recognized by the appropriate 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.
