The Oil of Casa Virzì is a balanced multi-varietal product made from carefully selected olives of the Nocellara Etnea, Biancolilla, and Ogliarola Messinese varieties, all grown in a extraordinarily rich soil. All products from our farms are produced through certified organic farming and boast the “Nebrodi Sicily” brand of excellence.
Picked by hand early in the season, the olives are processed within a few hours by cold-pressing, which preserves their organoleptic qualities and produces an oil with a fruity and floral scent and a harmonious finish, as well as great health benefits.
Our oil is characterized by a great balance that makes it perfect for any occasion and for daily use.
It can be classified as a medium fruity oil with an elegant organoleptic balance.
ExtraEvo.com says: "Casa Virzì oil releases its scents to the nose in a sweet and elegant way. The fruity and floral notes are immediately recognizable, particularly those of yellow and green apple followed by a light scent of mandarin, and elegant hints of fruit and lemon flower. There are also identifiable hints of freshly cut grass, pine nuts, sweet almond, and such vegetables, such as beet and tomato leaf. The scent of Mediterranean herbs, including oregano, completes the olfactory picture of the oil. On the palate, Casa Virzì Oil has an elegant and balanced, expression with its hints of grass, sweet almond, and artichoke. In the aftertaste, notes of marjoram complete the flavor. Any bitterness is very delicate and is followed by an elegant spicy taste"
