Nocellara del Belice

The Nocellara del Belice is the undisputed queen of western Sicily. In the sun-drenched Valle del Belice, this distinctive variety yields oils of vibrant freshness and deep aromatic complexity. Typical of a first-class Nocellara oil is the intense scent of freshly cut grass, tomato leaf and artichoke, underpinned by a delicate hint of almond. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of elegant bitterness and a pleasantly peppery spiciness. In the kitchen, this green elixir is an all-rounder that brilliantly accompanies grilled fish, vegetables and simple toasted bread.

How masterfully this variety can be interpreted is demonstrated by the Occhipinti estate. With the Gheta Olio Extra Vergine, Arianna Occhipinti captures the soul of her homeland, bringing the same artisanal precision and uncompromising loyalty to origin to the bottle for which she is so highly esteemed.
