UPRIMU BLEND

Uprimu is a limited edition blend, obtained from the early harvesting of the Cerasuola, Biancolilla and Nocellara del Belice cultivars.

The olives are harvested early, at the beginning of October, and the percentages of the three varieties are different from year to year, in order to obtain the product we have in mind, intense and rich in aroma. 

The name ‘Uprimu‘ comes from the Sicilian dialect, meaning something that is done as a beginning, as a first thing, in fact it is obtained only from the very first olives harvested during the oil campaign. It is an unfiltered oil, bottled and shipped a few days after the harvest, with an intense green colour and a lively, strong flavour. A true olive juice, for these reasons the production is measured and of few pieces.

It is advisable to consume this type of oil quickly, because it has not undergone a filtering process it is more turbid due to the presence of a few microdroplets of water and micro particles of olive pulp in suspension. This tends to shorten the shelf life of extra virgin olive oil and the emergence of defects.
