Our olive fruits |
| |
|
The
ancient italian olive-growing tradition continues in the
hills of D.O.P. “Monti Iblei” (EEU recognized
this area as the “protected designation of origin”,
under Reg. 1107/96), which is the perfect soil and climate
for olive oil production.
The oil from this area is very well known for its intense
fruity aroma and excellent taste.
The prevalent autochthonous varieties of olives which are
used in our products are:
Biancolilla,
Moresca,
Carolea,
Nocellara
del Belice e Tonda
Iblea.
