Frequently Asked Questions:
What Makes Castelvetrano Olives Different? As with any olive variety, what makes Castelvetrano olives different are their unique sensory qualities and characteristics like color, taste, size, etc. These great-tasting olives are grown in the Belice Valley, in Sicily, which is why they are also known as Nocellara del Belice. Unlike other olives, these Sicilian olives are harvested young, when they are crisp and bright green in color. Castelvetrano olives create an oil that can be described as buttery and fruity with a pleasantly peppery finish.
What’s The Difference Between Castelvetrano Extra Virgin Olive Oil And Traditional Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
The biggest difference between traditional extra virgin olive oils and our Castelvetrano Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the olive varieties that are featured.
DeLallo Castelvetrano Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an authentic Italian EVOO made exclusively with superior olives grown and handpicked in the Belice Valley of Sicily. (These olives are also known as Nocellara del Belice.) Other extra virgin olive oils can be made with any olives—one variety or many blended varieties—from any country or region, unless stated specifically. To be called “extra virgin olive oil,” producers must extract the olive oil by cold pressing the fruit (no heat or chemicals). The olive oil must also meet strict chemical and sensory parameters (color, odor, acidity, etc.) to be deemed an authentic extra virgin olive oil.
