Reviews
"The proprietary Virzì oil is a beautiful example of how organiccultivation and processing can result in high-quality products. It is a blend of Nocellara Etnea, Biancolilla, and Ogliarola Messinese olives and expresses all the elegance of these cultivars and of the Nebrodi Park area in Sicily. The land where their olive groves are situated is highly evocative with a fantastic view, directly overlooking the Etna volcano. Virzì's oil has a medium intensity to the nose and expresses fruity and floral notes of apple, freshly cut grass, sweet almond and tomato leaf. Bitterness and pungency are delicate and suggest a perfect combination of the oil with a variety of dishes" ExtraEvo
