Olio Extra Vergine d'Oliva Slow Food Zaituna - Extra Virgin Olive Oil Slow Food from Sicily - Tenuta Cavasecca

Zaituna is an organic monovarietal extra virgin olive oil from old Siracusana trees, for legume soup, grilled vegetables or bread.

It is the most robust oil of Tenuta Cavasecca, the Ficara family's farm near Siracusa between the Iblei mountains and the sea, where their son Dario returned after studying economics at Bocconi. Some of the trees are centuries old, a few even a thousand years; the olives are picked by hand from mid September, milled within six hours and stored under nitrogen. Intense green with golden shades, it has notes of almond, artichoke leaf and green tomato, an enveloping bitterness and a spice that lingers.

How to use it

• Raw over a legume soup.
• On grilled vegetables.
• On bread.
