OLIVIERS & CO PRODUCER
Giuseppe Santangelo
Oleificio San Calogero is an authentic little gem, an invitation to travel to the most beautiful garden in the Mediterranean : Sicily.
Since 1923, the Santangelo family has devoted itself to cultivating century-old olive trees and producing olive oils with character.
Produced from hand-harvested Nocellara del Belice olives, crushed 3 hours after harvest, this exceptional Grand Cru bears witness to ancestral Sicilian know-how.
This round, fleshy olive is the embodiment of Sicilian excellence, grown mainly in the Belice valley and benefiting from a protected designation of origin (DOP). Its early harvest gives this elixir perfect balance, revealing aromas of fresh almond, tomato leaf and cut grass, so typical of Nocellara del Belice.
Delicious with all tomato-based dishes, this olive oil is ideal with anything that has the same profile as it : raw, lively. Sicilian cuisine is full of delicious dishes such as pasta a la Norma or orange and fennel salad, all enhanced by olive oil, the essential ingredient of Mediterranean cuisine.
