Manicaretti's 2007 Harvest Olio Verde extra virgin olive oil. The olives are stone-crushed under huge millstones, then laid on mats and pressed gently. The unfiltered oil is stored in rotund terracotta amphorae until spring, naturally clarifying itself. It is never filtered; Becchina & Company prefers that the chlorophyll suspended in the minute particles of sediment act as a natural preservative. The oil is decanted into the distinctive Olio Verde rectangular bottles.
- Region: Castelvetrano, Sicily
- Olive variety: 100% Nocellara del Belice

- Description: Deeply green, well-balanced, fruity olive flavor, long peppery finish. Redolent of fresh-cut grass with a fresh green olive vivacity.
