This oil has an extraordinary low oleic acidity of 0.1%, ten times lower than required to be labeled Extra Virgin. It is called Flor de Aceite, meaning flower of the oil, because many of the savory senses of smell and taste are concentrated within it.

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.
