SKU
BECC-005
Once again this is the perfect oil from Sicily -- and a long standing favorite among our customers. You'll find it to be the perfect balance of grassy, fruity, and peppery! The distinctive green flavors comes through.
Gianfranco Becchina's 1998 award winning oil repeats again with the 2008 Harvest with this outstanding Sicilian oil. Yellow-green color, smooth taste, unfiltered. Limited quantities. The oil is produced at the estate of Prince Pignatelli at Castelvetrano in Sicily using the Nocellara varietal. The 100% Nocellara del Belice olives are hand-picked from the trees. An exceptional oil.
Traditions: Drizzle over grilled tuna, stewed white beans, roasted peppers and garlic or a salad of shaved fennel, fresh orange slices and capers.
According to Deborah Krasner in "The Flavors of Olive Oil", Olio Verde is "...beautifully colored and winsome estate-grown artisanal oil from Southwestern Sicily is nutty and herbal, with complex taste nuances."
