From grove, to harvest, to milling, Titone is all about attention to detail. Their 2023 harvest extra virgin olive oil, made entirely of estate-grown Cerasuola olives, is alive with green notes of tomato vine and freshly cut grass while its pleasant bitterness is balanced by a persistent spicy finish. A medium-intensity oil.
Farmer and miller Antonella Titone makes her organic extra virgin olive oil according to the exacting standards of Sicily’s D.O.P. Valli Trapanesi. After pressing her estate’s various olive cultivars, Antonella rigorously analyzes each oil, selecting only the very best to determine what goes into this bottle.
How to use
We suggest using Titone Organic DOP extra virgin olive oil as a finishing oil or as the base for fresh, herby sauces like chimichurri and salsa verde to taste the full experience. Drizzle over blanched green beans, all kinds of leafy salads, grilled fish and bowls of Sicilian-style Pasta con le Sarde (pasta with sardines and fennel).
About the producer
Titone is produced in the northwest coastal province of Trapani on the island of Sicily. In fact, the family that owns the 3,000 olive trees on hundreds of hectares, insist that organic farming is the only way to produce a quality olive oil. The precision they use to produce this oil no doubt is based on the exacting nature of the family's other business, chemistry and pharmaceuticals!
