Monti Iblei PDO extra virgin olive oil 50cl - Villa Zottopera

Presentation of Monti Iblei PDO extra virgin olive oil 50cl - Villa Zottopera

Villa Zottopera olive oil comes from the very old and rare “Tonda Iblea” variety which is grown exclusively in the mountainous region of Chiaramonte Gulfi (Dop Monti Iblei) in the province of Ragusa, at 400 m above sea level ( Eastern Sicily). The olive trees from which this oil comes are between 500 and 1000 years old ! The smell is herbaceous and intensely vegetal of green olives. When tasting it, this sensation is complemented by the fruitiness, fine notes of artichoke and tomato. An elegant tone of bitterness and spiciness rounds out the intense, fine and harmonious taste.
