Amble Through the Groves

Barone Pastore Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Barone Pastores's Cerasuola olive cultivar produces an oil that is high in polyphenols with a medium fruity profile and the taste of just-cut grass, artichokes, and tomatoes.
About the Farmer
A passionate Sicilian who has farmed his olive groves, vineyards, and orchards organically for over 20 years.
Il Fico
This organic grove is high up on the Trapanese coast hinterland next to the village of Fico.
300 Sicilian olive trees of native varietals, Cerasuola, Nocellara, and Biancolilla which make up the DOP 'Valli Trapanesi,' share the land with a wide variety of fruit including apricots, figs, oranges, lemons and grapes.
Il Fico Extra Virgin Olive Oil
An exceptional oil from Il Fico. Fruity, bitter and spicy which are always the hallmarks of this grove's oil. Made from olives that are picked just before they are fully ripe this oil is packed with healthy antioxidant polyphenols.
About the Farmer
Sicilian-born Nicola grew tired of working as a computer engineer and away from being the family's farm, so decided to return to producing organic extra virgin olive oil, natural wines, and honey.
Nonno Tato
An organically farmed and family-run grove located in the beautiful Val di Noto in south-eastern Sicily.
The land all around the grove originally belonged to Agnese’s grandfather who passed it down to 9 children; this piece fell to Agnese’s father who planted the olive grove 35 years ago. Agnese now runs the grove which is named after her grandfather who she affectionately called 'Nonno Tato’. Although much of the oil produced is enjoyed by the family, Agnese has set aside 200 trees for adoptions with Nudo Adopt.
Nonno Tato Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Agnese's Cerasuola and Nocellara trees produce a delicate floral oil with a real depth of flavour and fruitiness. Notes of artichoke, tomato and green almonds.
