EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Gianluca Viragi is a man devoted to maintaining the high-quality agricultural products for which Sicily is famous. His farm is in the hills of Chiaramonte Gulfi, near Ragusa, and there he produces world class extra virgin olive oils and fantastic tomato sauce. Polifemo EVO is 100% Tonda Iblea, also from the first pressing. It is an international award winner. Sbezi combines 50% Tonda Iblea, 30% Nocellara del Beice and 20% other native cultivars.
The olives are harvested in advance of maturity for the best quality results. The oil is bottled after a brief natural settling and without filtration. The oils have a green, fruity aroma with medium notes of cut grass, tomato and artichoke. The taste is fruity, with mild and balanced sensations of hot, sweet and sour. Great for soups, vegetables, salads and seafood dishes. The low acidity (0.1 %) and abundant vitamins and polyphenols make it suitable for regular use in all diets.
