OUR 100% SICILIAN ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
500ml bottle
It is entirely produced with olives from the centuries-old olive trees of Tenuta La Favola in Contrada Buonivini, Noto – Syracuse.
The olives are hand-harvested at the beginning of veraison, in the first 10 days of September.
The olives are cold-milled in a latest generation two-phase decanter. In order to guarantee the greatest quantity of polyphenols (antioxidants), no water is added in the process. The final product is an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality.
Our oil is not filtered and decants for about 40 days. Also, to avoid oxygenation, the oil goes through two indoor transferring processes before bottling.
The extra virgin olive oil of Tenuta La Favola is a harmonious and medium fruity blend of the two Sicilian varieties Moresca and Verdese. While Moresca gives pleasant hints of green grass, almond and tomato, Verdese brings an appetizing spicy and slightly bitter note with hints of artichoke.
This is a versatile organic extra virgin oil, recommended on raw or boiled vegetables, legumes, grilled meat and fish. It is best at the end of cooking on any dish or on bread with salt, pepper and oregano as in the most ancient Sicilian tradition.
