Basiricò Principe di Malumeri Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Oleificio Basiricò's Principe di Malumeri

D.O.P. Valli Trapanesi

This is an extraordinary extra virgin olive oil produced entirely from olives grown on the Basiricò estate in Trapani, Sicily, and it is crushed and bottled in their own frantoio, all under supervision of Peitro Basiricò and his family who take immense pride in their production.  It is completely unfiltered and produced from organic controlled cultivation. 

This oil carries the prestigious designation of D.O.P. Valli Trapanesi, attesting to its authenticity and quality.   The high presence of Cerasuola, an olive varietal found only in the area, gives the oil an intensely fruity, herbaceous and grassy aroma. It has a very slightly bitter and quite piccante to finish. Its intensity is tempered by the  sweeter Nocellara del Belice, and especially the floral character of the rare Biancolilla.  The taste is of spic, tomatoes, almonds and grass.

 Varietal composition: 80% Cerasuola, 15% Nocellara del Belice, 5% Biancloilla. .75 L bottle 

Application: This oil is delicious for finishing grilled and braised meats, roasted vegetables and  any application requiring an intense taste. It is spectacular on fresh heirloom tomatoes - standing up boldly to the tomatoes' acid.
