Furgentini Extra Virgin Olive Oil
olio@furgentini.it
A contender for the throne of the world’s olive oil. Winner of some of the most important industry awards, such as the “Grande Menzione Leone d’Oro 2003”, among others. We can without question characterize it as the quintessential expression of Sicilian olive oil—aromatic, fruity and, in all of its features, exceedingly refined, in the most elegant sense of the word. Lively fragrances that make it unique, evoking tomato leaves and freshly cut grass and mixing with the character of the very fresh and ripe olives. “Sweet” flavor, very “sweet” and fruity, elegant and balanced with extraordinarily subtle bitter and spicy notes that bring just the right complexity to the natural character of the olive. A bright, clean greenish color.
Made from Verdese and Moresca olive varieties, hand picked from the seven hundred olive trees on the 9-hectare property; after being pressed the same day, they yield a production of 4,000 bottles a year, each bearing the seal of ecological responsibility.
