The finest natural (organic) olive oil in Sicily is now available to wholesalers, specialty stores, supermarkets and anybody who wants to purchase pure, extra virgin olive oil in quantity. It is cold pressed, unfiltered and non-refined. You can actually see the sediment at the bottom of the bottle, and you can taste the robust olive flavor of this unique product, perfect for salads or in any recipe calling for a distinctly natural olive oil. Grown on Tenuta Baronale in Sicily's Madonie Mountains, overlooking the scenic resort town of Cefalu, its taste is distinguished even among Sicilian olive oils. Boasting a low acid level, it is a healthy Italian olive oil of vintage quality, intended to be consumed within two years of its bottling date. Some of our olive trees are over a century old, descended from the olive trees brought to Sicily by the ancient Greeks and Phoenicians over 25 centuries ago. In fact, many of Sicily's "native" olive varieties are more similar to those of Greece than those of Tuscany and other parts of mainland Italy.

Best of all, private labeling is available. That's right, we can place your company's name on the label. But you may prefer the distinction of being the only retailer in your market to offer extra virgin, cold pressed Tenuta Baronale. When you purchase Tenuta Baronale, you're dealing directly with the grower.

Most of the larger Italian olive oil vendors purchase the oil of numerous growers and mix it into a product composed of the oil of various olive groves and regions. Then they filter it. This is even true of several firms here in Sicily. That's why Sicilian olive oil from Tenuta Baronale and other smaller producers is superior. When you can find it, that is. Most of the best Sicilian olive oil is consumed in Sicily and unavailable for export. You can be sure our oil all comes from the same trees in the same location. And this is vintage olive oil, made from olives harvested in a single year. It has a deep colour, fruity taste and dense texture. That's because Tenuta Baronale extra virgin olive oil is non-refined and unfiltered. Unfiltered olive oils are almost impossible to find and virtually unknown outside Italy, Greece, Spain and the Middle East, where they are preferred for their fresher, fruitier, more robust taste. Our hardy annual olive crop is cultivated without the use of pesticides and other chemicals, and the olives are harvested primarily by hand. That's why Tenuta Baronale is the gourmand's choice in superior gourmet olive oil.
