Consorzio di tutela Monte Etna DOP

From the largest active volcano in Europe comes the extra virgin olive oil DOP Mount Etna, a unique and inimitable oil.

The D.O.P. “Mount Etna” covers a vast area rich in biodiversity, which covers the volcano. The traditional terraced cultivation and dry stone walls in lava stone characterise the landscape unmistakably.

The soil of volcanic origin and the prevalence of sunny, cool and ventilated climate constitute a unique microclimate in the world able to give typical Etneo oil, recognizable as true fruit of this vital and generous territory.

These characteristics make the product extraordinary and the child of a wonderfully unstable territory.

Today on Etna the “culture of oil” is an integral and identity part of the territory and its inhabitants. Symbol of quality of life and secular traditions.

The image of the PDO Monte Etna among consumers is solid in terms of nutritional characteristics, environmentally friendly production methods, aromas and inimitable flavors of a product that is rightly called “the prince of the table”

Etna oil is appreciated for its organoleptic profile characterized by the vivacity of olive fruit and herbaceous notes, accompanied by hints of

artichoke, green tomato, sometimes fresh almond and for the pleasant bitter and spicy sensation.

An extraordinary journey of persistent emotions between Myth and History
