At the end of the 19th century, Lorenzo had purchased the beautiful estate of San Lorenzo ai Colli. There he started a prosperous farm devoted primarily to the cultivation of valuable olives, namely the three typical Sicilian cultivars: the delicate Biancolilla, the savoury Nocellara and the robust Cerasuola. The blending of these olive varieties creates a sweet, aromatic oil with the unmistakeable taste of the first pressings of October, an affectionate tribute to the work of his ancestors.
Olio Verde bursts with the taste of ripe tomatoes, and hints of artichoke and apple. A medium-intensity olive oil, it has a round, silky mouthfeel punctuated by a touch of white pepper that amuses the palate, lingering flirtatiously. We are continually astonished by the complexity offered by the single Nocellara del Belice olive, and credit the pristine frantoio with delivering this unrivaled balance of flavors. For us, it’s absolute perfection!
World renowned, 100% organic, and one of Spain’s most famous Oils. This oil is estate-produced and bottled. The process begins in the orchards where the olives, which have not been treated with any fertilizers or pesticides, are hand-picked, then pass thorough a rigorous selection at the family’s mill. The olives are crushed under granite stones, an ancient process. Only the oil that flows throw the screens by gravity is bottled in its unfiltered form. This oil has an extraordinary low acidity of 0.1%, 10 times lower than required to be labeled Extra Virgin.
Hailing from Tuscany, this amazing extra virgin olive oil has been created for decades by a simple squeezing of hand picked olives that have been freshly gathered and cold pressed. Magni is fruity in taste and has a slightly spicy finish with a light golden green hue. It contains less than 1% in Oleic Acid and because of its versatility, Magni is an excellent choice for use when making sauces, finishing meats, grilling vegetables, and topping off soups.
The unmistakable pungent flavor is a result of the abundance of polyphenols, powerful antioxidants to which modern medicine attributes a fundamental role in defending the organism from oxidation and cell aging.
