*SALE 2024 harvest* 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.
This oil is early harvest, made from green olives that yield oils with more intense, herbaceous, peppery, and bitter notes. Pressing olives at this early stage of maturity, and milling with precision, also creates oils with higher concentrations of antioxidants, making them more resistant to oxidation and flavour degradation than late harvest oils
While you wait for the new harvest to come in, don’t miss out on the incredible flavour and complexity this olive oil offers. In fact, time in the bottle can be preferable to some palates, especially if you like a slightly more mellow profile, with tamed bitterness.
