Experience the exceptional “Nocellara Etnea” extra virgin olive oil crafted by Tenuta Ritornella, a truly distinctive product derived from Nocellara Etnea olives, an indigenous variety cultivated on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna. This oil is renowned for its remarkable, robust flavor, characterized by hints of fruitiness accompanied by a delightful touch of spiciness and bitterness.
For over a century, the Tenuta Ritornella family has been dedicated to the exclusive production of this exceptional oil, utilizing olives harvested from their very own groves. Maintaining a commitment to preserving the olives’ integrity, the harvesting process remains a manual endeavor.
By carefully hand-picking the olives during early autumn, the acidity of the fruit is kept at bay. Following this meticulous process, the milling occurs within a few hours of harvesting, ensuring the oil retains its freshness and aromatic qualities. Employing a cold extraction method, the oil is carefully obtained and subsequently stored in stainless steel tanks, allowing for natural settling without the need for any filtration processes.
The “Nocellara Etnea” Monocultivar extra virgin olive oil is the result of this meticulous artisanal approach. Distinguished by its vibrant green hue and moderate density, this oil is abundant in polyphenols, unsaturated fatty acids, and tocopherols, all of which contribute to its ability to enhance the flavors of both raw and cooked dishes.
