Tonda Iblea Giovanni Cutrera bears the name of the founder of the current Cutrera family, the one who led our centuries-old activity as millers towards the very high quality milling that distinguishes us today. This extra virgin olive oil, in particular, is produced from olives of the Sicilian Tonda Iblea variety, typical of our area, south-eastern Sicily, a predominant variety in the lands handed down by our family. The ideal habitat for this plant is the hill, it grows luxuriantly up to 600 meters above sea level.
The tonda Iblea olives used to produce this particular "reserve" of oil come only from the trees of the family olive grove and in particular from the trees that were planted by the expert hands of our forefather Giovanni Cutrera.

In the past, mainly table olives were obtained from the Tonda Iblea variety. Its use for oil production is relatively recent but very satisfactory. So much so that this variety is now the basis of a prized Sicilian DOP which, as Frantoi Cutrera, we have contributed to obtaining. The oil obtained from it has a very intense fruitiness. The bouquet of scents is varied: tomato, cut grass and aromatic herbs are clearly noticeable. The bitter taste is very light while the spiciness is well present and evident. These characteristics make it the perfect ally for the preparation of vegetables, salads and for seasoning fish-based dishes.

The quality of our Tonda Iblea Giovanni Cutrera 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.
