Partanna Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Produced by the Asaro Brothers Company in Partanna, Sicily, this oil is a very first cold, pushed, additional virgin olive oil, however it is likewise an early harvest (October), single-olive varietal (Nocellara del Belice), unfiltered oil. When the tins are first opened, the oil is cloudy with a green hue, herbaceous aroma and 'pizzicante' flavor. (Pizzicante is an Italian expression that explains the strong flavor that grips the back of your throat and is particular of a lot of Tuscan olive oils.) As the oil ages it will mellow slightly and end up being clearer as the sediment drops to the bottom of the tin. The vibrant packaging is stunning enough to leave on your countertop and makes an excellent present!
