Grand Cru
100% Tonda Iblea, from one family grove in the Monti Iblei.
The olives are picked by hand at the very start of veraison and cold-extracted within four hours, while the fruit is still green and full of the season’s character.
Poured raw, Grand Cru opens with green tomato and cut grass, followed by fresh almond and a white-pepper finish. Precise and persistent, it belongs on the simplest dishes — where the oil has nowhere to hide.
This is not a bottle to save for an occasion. Put it on the table and let it create one.

Tonda Iblea, picked early and green in the groves around Chiaramonte Gulfi. The yield drops, but the polyphenols — the compounds behind the peppery catch at the back of the throat — are naturally higher. Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.*
It's also why Grand Cru belongs at the table, not on the stove: pour it raw, where heat can't touch what the harvest gave it.
*Based on 20g of olive oil daily, per EU-approved health claim.
