Description

Oleificio Guccione - Historic Olive Oil Mill of Chiaramonte Gulfi

Oleificio Guccione was born in 1966 in Chiaramonte Gulfi, a small baroque village in the heart of the Iblei Mountains, made famous over the years for the goodness of its oil, which Luigi Veronelli considered "the best on the island". The oil mill was founded in 1966 by our grandparents, initially as an oil mill serving olive growers in the area and always with a focus on quality and innovation. We were the first in the area, in 1990, to abandon the traditional press extraction system and to focus on continuous cycle processing. Today the company is led by the grandsons of the founders, Vito and Giuseppe Divita, two thirty-year-old brothers with the desire to produce, in a contemporary key, great oils that manage to express the potential of our territory.

Oleificio Guccione - Zahara - Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Italian - High Quality

Zahara is a monocultivar of Tonda Iblea, patrimony and variety queen of our territory.

The olives are delicately picked by hand from secular trees of the Chiaramonte Gulfi valleys. The harvest takes place in the first half of September at a stage of maturation which allows the olive to best express all its perfumes and properties.

The olives collected are transformed into oil a few hours after harvesting in our oil mill, where we use technologies that allow us to maximize the potential of the olive at each stage of extraction.

“A wonderful and intense sensation of tomato and aromatic herbs and myrtle leaf characterizes the olfactory profile of this masterpiece. In the mouth it is powerful, elegant and with great aromatic consistency ". (Guida Oli d’Italia, Il Gambero Rosso).

Zahara awarded each year with the 3 leaves of Gambero Rosso, the highest recognition awarded every year to the best oils in Italy.

Aromatic Profile

Pairing

Zahara goes well with cooked and raw vegetables, tomato capresi, Sicilian orange salads, cereal and legume soups, grilled meat and fish.
