Our Top 5 Dressings
Our collection of infused extra virgin olive oils are created from the heart of Sicily, on the hills near Caltanissetta, just moments away from the towns where our grandparents were born and raised. At 600 meters above sea level, in an area which has always been suitable and devoted to growing olives, the best olives are selected to produce our superior quality olive oil.
Our infused oils are reminiscent of the flavours of Sicily inspired by the cultural influences that were introduced to the land from all the various settlements. Enhance traditional Sicilian dishes which by nature are simple but yet so unique for their ingredients with our infused olive oils
