The Nocellara del Belice cultivar produces green color with golden reflections, medium intense, extra virgin olive oil with a nose characterised by hints of artichoke, tomato and almond. Nocellara del Belice extra virgin olive oils are ideal on raw and cooked fish but also on legume soups, grilled reds and all vegetable-based dishes. It can also be used for short cooking at high temperatures or frying due to its high smoke point.
