In the heart of southeastern Sicily, among the hills of the Hyblaean Mountains, Tenuta Giannone’s extra virgin olive oil “Il Salto” is born, an authentic expression of an agricultural tradition handed down for generations. The Giannone family has been passionately cultivating their olive groves since the 1950s, in a suitable area at about 600 meters above sea level, where climate, limestone soil and Mediterranean breeze create ideal conditions to obtain an excellent EVO oil. The olive trees, spread over approximately 5 hectares, include native cultivars such as Tonda Iblea, Nocellara, Biancolilla and Verdese, Coratina.
The olives, harvested by hand, are cold ground within a few hours to preserve their organoleptic and nutritional properties intact. The result is an extra virgin oil with a distinctive character, medium fruity, with notes of green tomato and aromatic herbs, balanced between bitter and spicy. "Il Salto" represents the meeting between nature, tradition and innovation, symbol of Italian quality and love for one's land.
