We craft our early-harvest extra virgin olive oil in small quantities from three traditional Sicilian cultivars grown on our land: Cerasuola, Nocellara del Belice, and Biancolilla. Each bottle is pressed within hours of harvest to preserve its vibrant flavour and high concentration of polyphenols, the compounds that make extra virgin olive oil a true elixir of health.
Our extra virgin olive oil has an acidity below 0.16%, and its polyphenol content ranges between 289 and 400 mg/kg. The EU specifies that EVOO should have a count of 250 mg/kg to qualify as ‘high polyphenol’. The exact level in the oil varies naturally from year to year, influenced primarily by rainfall and temperature during the growing season. To fully benefit from these effects, it is recommended to consume 20–30 g of olive oil per day, equivalent to 2–3 tablespoons.
Borgo Naera extra-virgin olive oil has a green colour with possible golden-yellow highlights and a harmonious yet elegant aroma with pronounced tomato notes complemented by marked balsamic hints. On the palate it is enveloping, with tomato taking the lead, well accompanied by herbaceous undertones. Noteworthy is the balance between bitterness and pungency.
