Miceli & Sensat Delicato Extra Virgin Olive Oil Biologica 2023

We were fortunate to be introduced to the producers Paolo Miceli and Sergio Sensat; their passion for EVOO stems back several generations. Their organic olive grove covers 115 hectares with 46,000 olive trees of five varieties (Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla, Cerasuola, Arbequina and Picual). This is a uniquely modern farm with a very high quality production. In the first year of production, their oils placed highly in a wide range of international contests, and they gained acclaim for one of the most surprising new entries.

The olives, from the farm south of Palermo, are processed within two hours of harvesting in the company mill. The extra virgin olive oils are stored in the cellar and topped with noble gases and maintained with controlled temperatures to preserve their very high organoleptic qualities.

Soft, round and elegant, Delicato by Miceli & Sensat is surprisingly pleasing with its sweet notes of almond mixed with vegetable notes and reminiscent of lettuce and green tomato. Made with Arbequina olives “sicilianizzate” thanks to a graft on wild Sicilian species.  M&S created a blend that had never been experienced before.

Very delicate and balanced. The arbequina brings new flavor notes to the biancolilla-cerasuola blend. 

Serve with grilled fish, grilled white meats, tomato bruschetta,  milder vegetables, and meat couscous.
