Small-batch. Family-owned. Organically-farmed.

Produced by Francesca in Syracuse, this limited-edition bottle was designed in collaboration with artist Hal Haines.

Hal’s bold, colourful brushstrokes are inspired by the landscape of the region, where centuries-old olive trees sit among flowering lemon groves, trailing bougainvillea, and iconic prickly pears.

Drizzled over warming pasta dishes, seasonal salads, or paired simply with bread, this oil is rich enough to stand out while not overpowering the dish. The ideal accompaniment to drinks hour (we even drizzle it in cocktails) this oil brings a classically Sicilian feel to the table, and makes for a colourful centrepiece.

Francesca—whose last name literally means ‘olive’—is a tenacious woman who has worked tirelessly to turn her family business into one centred on quality and sustainability.

Superb

I drizzled this on a fairly hearty homemade vegetable soup and it was perfect. Really complemented the soup. Fresh and fruity but didn't 'poke out' too much and spoil the dish. I compared it to another expensive Sicilian olive oil (blended) and there really was no contest. If you've tried the Tuscan then this is similar to start with but significantly toned down in a good way and extremely moreish. You can put this with anything. Unctuous.

Thank you Allister for your lovely words, we really appreciate the support! We're so glad to hear that you loved our Sicilian EVOO from Francesca and that it is making the perfect pairing for your winter dishes.

Fabulous!
