Monte Etna

According to many historical findings, the slopes of the Sicilian volcano Etna have a rich history and tradition of producing olive oil and the surrounding volcanic soil seems to be perfect for olive cultivation. Monte Etna extra virgin olive oil is obtained from the Nocellara Etnea olive variety, which must make up at least 65% of the groves.

Other varieties present in the are are: Moresca, Tonda Iblea, Ogliarola Messinese, Biancolilla, Brandofino and Olivo di Castiglione. Monte Etna oil is produced in the provinces of Catania, Enna, and Messina.

It is characterized by a golden yellow color with green hues, a pronounced fruity aroma, with delicate herbal sensations and a slightly bitter and spicy taste. Because of its pleasant fruity flavor, Etna oil is perfect for drizzling over bruschettas and fresh vegetables.
