Our olive oil prodution

"IL TRIONFO" olive oil is a top quality local product and can be purchased directly from the producer. We produce two kinds of olive oil (strong and delicate)  by differentiating the harvesting times. From October 15 - 31, from the harvest of Nocellara Etnea with a small amount of  moresca  (which has a pollinating function), we obtain the stronger tasting oil with characteristic organoleptic properties. It has a strong fruity taste with pleasing sensations of grass and green tomato and an interesting bitter, spicy hint. A totally balanced and harmonious oil which, used raw, is perfect for dishes in which the smells and flavours need to be highlighted. A trickle of olive oil gives that herby scent to first courses based on red sauces, cooked vegetables. The hint of green tomato enriches salads and tomato pizza.. The harvest from 1-15 November of  Nocellara Etnea with a higher percentage of  Moresca produces a  lighter oil with pleasant fragrances of leaves, almonds, green apple and other fruit; the taste is harmonious, prevalently sweet with a  sharp, spicy undertone . The light fragrance  makes it suitable for delicate dishes in order to bring out, but not smother, the flavours of dishes such as fish, antipasto, white or boiled meat. The oil contains a low number of peroxides which protects the oil from oxidisation and has a low level of acidity usually around 0.25. The oil from our farm has an unusually fruity taste due to the fact that the harvest takes place from October 15 to November 15
