Description

Milleanni Extra Virgin Olive Oil confirms itself as olive oil with great personality and elegance, characterised by a pleasantly fruity bouquet with bitter and spicy that twine harmoniously. A versatile oil that excels drizzled over meat, fish, even delicate, and vegetable dishes.

Production zone: South-western Sicily, in the Valle del Belice area, in the plots located in Mazzaporro, Pandolfina and Predicatore.

Harvest time: the olive harvest takes place at the beginning of veraison when the accumulation of polyphenolic substances is at the highest level; the different cultivars were harvested in October.

Extraction methods: milling immediately after the harvest by means of a cold extraction system, in a continuous cycle, that carries out the malaxation step (mixing the olive paste to facilitate the separation of the oil) in a controlled atmosphere, allowing you to best preserve the aromatic components.

Art & Oil: olive cultivation in Sicily boasts a millenary tradition. In the landscape robust twisted trunks, centuries old and still productive, stand majestically among young olive trees. Milleanni was born here, among timeless scents and fragrances, while the wind plays among the foliage of one of the many female figures of Donnafugata. A woman – olive tree, a symbol of serenity and well-being.
