Sicilian Olive Oil - No Ka Oi!

The process took half a day as we waited patiently, salivating, and reveling in the fact that this olificio and beautiful place is just 5 minutes from our house and we never knew it was there!

So we entertained ourselves by enjoying the scenery. Can you find the dog from the goats?



...And of course, we passed the time sampling some novello vino. The grape harvest wraps up in November and for three months, the featured beverage of Sicily is the fresh, new wine - that's unfermented and without any preservatives.



And here is the final product, creamy, buttery, delicious olive oil - a phenomenal extra virgin olive oil from one of the country's most superior olive oil producing regions. We prefer to eat it fresh with a little bit of salt, red pepper flakes and a pinch of fresh flat-leaf parsley. And some fresh baked bread from the local bakery to mop it up. Our favorite heavenly treat! Or drizzle it over your ragu or fresh tomato sauce before serving! Or in salad dressings. Or sprinkled over fresh sliced tomatoes. You name it.
