Where Nocellara del Belice is born
Imagine a place, a fertile land near the sea, kissed by the sun, pampered by the sweetness and generosity of its warm rays that recall the beauty of life in its presence.
Too poetic to be real? What if I told you this place really exists? It is precisely in that strip of land that the Nocellara del Belice is born, located in the province of Trapani, a few kilometers from the sea, more precisely where the Temples of Selinunte have protected it for more than 2,700 years.
What is Nocellara del Belice
It is a particularly large and tasty type of olive that is produced only in the Belice Valley, in the province of Trapani.
It has a dual purpose, a fundamental characteristic for obtaining an excellent table olive from which an extraordinary extra virgin olive oil is obtained, and therefore produced.
It is one of the oils with more polyphenols, and the harvest of its olives starting from the end of September ensures that the oil obtained has its interesting fragrance. It is particularly intense, full-bodied, fruity flavor with hints of tomato, almond and artichoke.
A simple and unique oil at the same time, ideal for the preparation of roasts, for the dressing of both raw and cooked side dishes and more.
It is the only product in Europe to have two PDO trademarks for the same variety: “Valle del Belice” and “Nocellara del Belice”
