The best cultivars from our territory selected to create the Perfect Blend

Our Special Blend Cultivars

L' extra virgin oil of olive Sicilian selected from Sanfilippo oil is a one hundred per cent Sicilian superior extra virgin oil. Under the term extra virgin can only be defined as oil obtained from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea sativa L.) by mechanical or physical processes that do not alter the product in any way, unlike other oils obtained from seeds (e.g. sunflower, peanut, maize and rapeseed) and mainly extracted with organic solvents.

Sensory qualities with spicy and herbaceous notes as well as great nutritional qualities make our Sicilian extra virgin olive oil unique and unmistakable.

Our mill produces different qualities of Sicilian extra virgin olive oil, depending on the cultivars used during the milling process or the blends: 'Blend' of the same.
