Monocultivar Tonda Iblea IGP - extra virgin olive oil - 6 Bottles Box

The quality of our Monocultivar Tonda Iblea begins in the field but is refined in the oil mill thanks to our ceaseless research. By combining study and experience, we have created an innovative system that allows us to set and manage every single process of the production plant based on a personalized (secret) "recipe" for each cultivar, origin, and state of ripeness. This allows us to standardize and enhance the organoleptic properties of each olive variety, extracting only the best from each and thus creating our special blends.

The Tonda Iblea olive variety, one of those that gives life to the prized Monti Iblei PDO, is typical of the vast limestone plateau of south-eastern Sicily which is also our home. We are in the hinterland of the provinces of Syracuse and Ragusa: here, olive trees of this variety have grown spontaneously for millennia among vast plateaus and deep valleys. Centuries-old plants are predominant and alternate with new plants, covering the hills together with carob trees, almond trees and vines. The trees are very vigorous with generally very dense foliage. The fruit has an excellent ratio between stone and pulp and productivity is medium. The fruit is large and fleshy.

Monocultivar Tonda Iblea olive oil is produced in our facilities using olives sourced directly from our own olive groves in the Ragusa area, as well as from our suppliers in the Syracuse area. We exclusively promote growers who can provide high-quality local raw materials, cultivated using organic farming methods. Above all, we support small-scale producers: we maintain an intrinsic connection with the local community of olive growers and small producers who supply our mills with the best of their harvest. This approach is driven by a focus on sustainable development and provides significant added value for the region.

Monocultiva Tonda Iblea PGI can be recognized by the appropriate brand on the packaging. It guarantees that the oil has been produced according to the specifications established by the "Consortium for the valorisation and protection of extra virgin olive oil PGI Sicily". In addition to the high quality standards (the same ones we follow for all our products), the specification requires that the oil be pressed within the Sicilian territory and only from olives grown on the island. A standard that we also follow for all the other extra virgin olive oils we produce.
