| Description | An extra virgin olive oil produced from Biancolilla, Nocellara and Cerasuola olives, exclusively through mechanical procedures |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Slightly viscous as it is unfiltered, and a deep golden yellow colour |
| Taste | When freshly pressed, it has an intense aroma of grass, leaves and green olives. The flavour is reminiscent of artichokes and almonds, with a slightly spicy aftertaste. Once it has settled, after a few months, it has a less pronounced aroma, in which green olives predominate, and a sweet flavour reminding of ripe tomatoes |
| Curiosity | Fattoria Scirinda is a farm with a long-standing tradition: it was founded way back in 1890, when Francesco Paolo Pasciuta began selling the extra virgin olive oil produced on his land; a pioneer in a stagnant Sicily still under the yoke of the large landowners. It is situated in the countryside around Ribera, on a plateau overlooking the Strait of Sicily to the south and sheltered by the Sicani Mountains to the north. A harsh yet fertile land, always bathed in sunshine, with a mild coastal climate |
| Our selection | This extra virgin olive oil stands out for its harmony in flavour and in fragrance |
| Suggestions | Thanks to its blend of cultivars, this oil is excellent used raw to bring out the flavour of vegetables and winter soups. It is also excellent for making the traditional Sicilian 'salmoriglio' dressing for fish |

The producer
Fattoria Scirinda - Ribera (AG) - Sicily
Why we chose them
The farm "Fattoria Scirinda" was founded in 1890 with Francesco Paolo Pasciuta and handed down over time a Olearia culture of the highest level
combining modern production standards, with a centuries-old experience. The plants are cultivated at a height of 3-4 meters thus allowing the
manual harvesting, through a process defined combing, where you pass some wooden combs to caress the plant to drop the fruit in nets lying in
the
ground below. From the nets the olives are transferred in plastic boxes well aerated then transported in a short time to the mill oil where they begin
the mechanical procedures that lead to the extraction of the oil from the olives. The olives at the mill enter the production process, poured into the
extraction machine are sieved, washed and finally pressed in such a way as to obtain an oily paste that is left to knead before being centrifuged to
separate the solid paste from the oil. This extraction process is carried out cold, naturally and without chemical agents. This is how you get a high-
quality product that is then stored, in a cool and dry place, protected by oxidizing agents, ready to be bottled
