I migliori oli d’Italia
Renzo Ceccacci presenta gli alfieri della realtà olivicola siciliana
Italy’s top olive oils
Of the 300 hectares situated in Bufaleffi owned by the Modica di San Giovanni for the past two centuries, 42 are devoted to olive growing. The 6,000 trees are predominantly of the Moresca variety, with a small number of Verdese pruned to optimize mechanical harvesting. The olives are strictly processed on the same day using a continuous extraction system and the unfiltered oil is stored in steel vats topped with nitrogen, wich is just one of the many features of their wellhoned processing system. The crown jevel of their 300-400 ton annual production is the Extravergine di Oliva D.O.P. Monti Iblei, Sottozona Val Tellaro \”Bufalefi\”. This yellow-green oil has a medium fruitiness and presents fragrant aromas of cut grass, almonds, and a hint of tomato and green apple followed through in the mouth with a cartain piquancy and slight bitterness. The oil is very fluid, fine and aromatic and is ideal for the delicate to relatively well-structured dishes. The Olio extravergine di oliva Felice Modica di San Giovanni is more decisive both in the nose and the mouth. This oil is fruity, with artichoke, grass and tomato aromas and has a greater piquancy and bitterness than its brother, making it also suitable for grilled meats and vegetables.
