The genesis of Sicily PGI oil. An island, a territory, an identity<\/b><\/p>\n
The application for registration of the long-awaited Protected Geographical Indication has now been published several months ago in the Official Journal of the European Union. How is Sicilian extra virgin olive oil characterized and distinguished? How did we arrive at the production specification and what are the most significant points? When tasted, meanwhile, the oil presents itself with a singular fruity flavour, with organoleptic descriptors of grass, tomato and artichoke.<\/p>\n
