Gran Cru Tin 5L

The Oleaviva Gran Cru is a pure expression of Sicilian excellence — a single-varietal extra virgin olive oil crafted exclusively from Tonda Iblea olives, grown on organically farmed groves in the hills of Chiaramonte Gulfi. This native cultivar, celebrated for its aromatic richness and complexity, is harvested early and cold-pressed within hours to preserve its vibrant character.

Award-winning and filtered for purity, the Gran Cru delivers a bold yet elegant sensory profile: notes of green tomato leaf, freshly cut grass, and green almond unfold first, followed by hints of artichoke and a distinctive peppery finish rich in polyphenols.

A refined and balanced oil, ideal for raw use on crudo di pesce, burrata, grilled vegetables or even dark chocolate — where purity and precision elevate every ingredient.

Gran Cru is a limited-edition release, handcrafted in small batches and reserved for true connoisseurs — a tribute to heritage, nature, and the women who lead this vision.
