Details

This Accomando extra virgin olive oil is pressed from 100% Nocellara del Belice olives, grown around Mazara del Vallo in the Valle del Belice, Sicily. According to Accomando, the olives are picked by hand between late September and early October and cold-pressed within hours of the harvest.

Colour and flavour

Poured out, the oil is green with golden highlights. It tastes fruity and intense, with green tomato and fresh herbs up front, balanced by a slight bitterness and a gentle spiciness at the finish.

How to use it

It is at its best in cold dishes, where nothing gets in the way of that flavour: drizzled over salads, bruschetta, grilled vegetables and fish. It also works stirred through pasta or spooned over lighter meat dishes.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Which olives is the Accomando extra virgin olive oil made from?

This oil is made from 100 percent Nocellara del Belice olives from Mazara del Vallo in Sicily. The olives are harvested by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October and cold pressed within a few hours of the harvest. That keeps the oil rich in polyphenols and preserves its fresh, slightly spicy character.

What does the Accomando olive oil from Sicily taste like?

This extra virgin olive oil is fruity and intense, with notes of green tomato and fresh herbs. That taste is kept in balance by a light bitterness and a slightly peppery finish, which is characteristic of a fresh oil. In the glass you see a green colour with golden hues.

What is this extra virgin olive oil best used for?

This oil comes into its own in cold preparations. Think of a splash over a salad, over bruschetta, over grilled vegetables or fish. You can also finish pasta and light meat dishes with it at the last moment, so that the fruity aroma is preserved.

How much olive oil is in the Accomando bottle?

The bottle contains 500 ml, or 0.5 litre. It is a dark glass bottle with a label designed by a local Sicilian artist. With olive oil, dark glass matters: it protects the oil from light.

How should you store extra virgin olive oil?

Store the bottle dry, dark and not too warm, with the cap tightly closed. Light, heat and oxygen are the biggest enemies of fresh olive oil. Do not put the bottle in the fridge or next to the hob, and use the oil within a few months of opening for the fullest flavour.
