The Sicilian oil par excellence.
Primo is the monocultivar DOP extra virgin olive oil obtained with 100% Tonda Iblea olives, a native variety of the Iblei Mountains, in south-eastern Sicily. Among the varieties that have lived on the island for millennia, this is one of the most prized.

The award-winning extra virgin olive oil.
Primo DOP is the flagship brand of Frantoi Cutrera, the first to have been awarded way back in 2001. Since then it has never stopped being our great pride and has never dropped from the podium: it is always at the top of the rankings of the main competitions national and international on extra virgin olive oil. An irrefutable guarantee of constant quality.

The Monti Iblei DOP at the table.
Primo was the first Sicilian extra virgin olive oil to obtain the DOP Monti Iblei controlled origin certification. Today it is one of the most sought after and prized. Because in the kitchen, more than a condiment, it can be considered a real food: it is an intense, robust and highly fragrant oil, suitable for substantial first courses, meats and legumes. Enhances grilled fish, soups and salads, bruschetta and capresi. And it is capable of defining, with its intensity, the destiny of each dish.

Further Information

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 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. Together with the Moresca, another typical variety of this territory, the Tonda Iblea dominates this territory and produces an oil with a balanced, rich and tasty flavour, intense and persistent, with an unmistakable hint of tomato and fresh grass.

Tonda Iblea olive trees are generally large and vigorous, with dull gray leaves. The fruits are large (weighing on average 6 grams) and have a good ratio between pulp and stone, in fact the oil yield is good. For a long time this olive was used as a table product. The fine oil obtained has an intense fruitiness and a bouquet of various scents, from tomato to cut grass. It is rich in polyphenols and vitamin E.

The Monti Iblei PDO is produced in the eastern part of Sicily, in particular in the provinces of Ragusa and Syracuse. At least 80% must be obtained from the Tonda Iblea, Moresca, Nocellara Etnea, Verdese, Biancolilla and Zaituna varieties, even combined with each other. Other varieties may be present but for no more than 20%.

The Monti Iblei DOP can be recognized by the appropriate mark on the label (the DOP community mark - Protected Designation of Origin). It is the only guarantee of a product made following precise specifications, subjected to numerous traceability checks and the appropriate organoleptic analysis defined by the official panel.
