TONDA IBLEA AND NOCELLARA ETNEA

It is the result of the skilful union of two of the finest Sicilian cultivars: Tonda Iblea and Nocellara Etnea. On the nose it has an intense fruit aroma, with notes of artichoke, oregano and green tomato. The flavour, characterized by a delicate bitterness with moderate spiciness which tends to rise until it reaches the balance, is pleasant on the palate and makes it a very versatile oil in the kitchen.
