More information...
The olives used are 100% Nocellara del Belice. They are grown on the country estate of Gianfranco Becchina, in the uplands of nortwestern Sicily. There he maintains sixty acres of olive groves - thousands of trees - from which comes this extra virgin olive oil of world-class structure. Gianfranco does not chemically treat his olive trees. Some of them are 300 year old stock onto which younger trunks are grafted. A spring is tapped to deliver water directly to every tree through an elaborate irrigation system. These fine trees are not chemically treated in any way. Using traditional methods the olives are hand-picked while still green - harvested earlier than most, but producing an oil of strong, green flavors and intense aroma. The olives are stone-crushed under huge millstones, then laid on mats and pressed gently. The unfiltered oil is stored in rotund terracotta amphorae until spring, naturally clarifying itself. It is never filtered because the chlorophyll suspended in the minute particles of sediment act as a natural preservative. The oil is decanted into the distinctive Olio Verde rectangular bottles. Gold Medal Winner at the 1998 Fancy Food Show.
