We cultivate unique varieties of olives in Western Sicily, with the aim of maximizing their sensory characteristics. The main varieties, such as Biancolilla, Nocellara, and Cerasuola, are selected to produce a fruity green oil, with typical notes of unripe olives. Our processing aims to highlight positive attributes such as freshly cut grass, green almond, artichoke, and tomato leaf.
Eco-Friendly Choices: Recyclable materials and sustainable production processes can reduce the overall ecological footprint of the product. In summary, the ideal preservation of olive oil at Terre Tinte is a combination of scientific principles and cutting-edge production practices. Accurate temperature management, the use of vacuum, and the selection of suitable containers are all science-based choices designed to ensure that every drop of oil maintains its freshness and integrity over the long term.
The Bag-in-Box: An eco-friendly type of packaging, with fewer environmental impacts in the production, transport, and disposal than tin or glass. The bag-in-box protects oil from light and from oxygen. It is fitted with a practical tap for pouring and the internal bag empties out without allowing for the penetration of air, preserving the original characteristics of the oil.
