Italian
Olive Oil
Imported Olive Oil
It was with the Medici family that the
olive groves spread across Italy. They gave land to
any person that would commit to grow olive trees. But
even before, history tells that the Romans started the
cultivation of olive trees
for trade and important commercial value. They also
spread the cultivation of olive trees throughout Europe.
Olive trees can live for more than two centuries.
It is important to note that each country
produces different flavors of olive
oils. Even in the same region the olive oil
can vary from a grove that is even a mile away. This
is because of the difference in soil and climate, which
is critical to the flavor of the olive oil.
The Italian government
has created regulations for extra virgin
and virgin olive oil. These oils have
to be cold pressed and cannot be chemically
extracted. They have boundaries on the production zone
and a ministry just to enforce the regulations. Also,
there is a commission that takes care of tasting
the olive oil prior
to be approved and released to the market.
Olive groves and production is a serious
business for Italians. It is part of
their history and heritage which they intend to pass
through generations to come. There is a great demand
in the world for Italian Olive Oils.
The United States is the biggest Italian customer
for olive oil.
A superior quality oil - Zottopera
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from
the centuries old olive-groves of the hilly Chiaramonte
Gulfi countryside. Zottopera olive oil is
obtained from olive trees of the rare "Cetrale"
variety or "Tonda Iblea", dating back to the
Aragonese domination in the 14th century. The Agrobiologica
Rosso adopts strict rules for their harvest, processing
and preservation that yields the excellent characteristics
of the oil given by these olive trees for over
seven centuries. Today like yesterday, olives are hand
picked, collected in small containers, that ensure the
perfect integrity of the olive, and immediately sent
to be cold pressed. After a short period of natural
decantation that ensures an optimal maturing,
Zottopera Oil is ready to be appreciated in
its high distinctive features, that make it an indispensable
ingredient and dressing in the best Italian
cuisine.
