Vernèra – Le Case di Lavinia, Organic DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Sicily
Le Case di Lavinia is a high quality DOP organic extra virgin olive oil, guaranteed by the Monti Iblei DOP Protection Consortium, obtained 100% from Sicilian olives of the Tonda Iblea variety. This is an oil handcrafted by the Vernèra company which has been operating for five generations according to traditional procedures. The olives are harvested exclusively by hand and pressed within three hours of harvesting, cold, in a two-phase continuous cycle mill, in order to keep their organoleptic, chemical and sensorial characteristics unaltered. The oil is then placed in stainless steel containers saturated with nitrogen and stored in a controlled temperature environment. As a completely natural product, oil is influenced by climatic factors such as temperature, rain, temperature range and humidity: this is the reason why, in taste, the balance between bitter and spicy, the intensity of the flavor and its perfume, are subject to variations, even significant ones, from one vintage to another.
