Huge olives from ancient trees in northern Apulia. The fruit is firm in consistency, uniform in size and intense in colour. The best produce of the highest quality and fine flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

Probably our best dark olives, small hand-picked Taggiasca olives of varying colours, from grey-beige to dark brown. After harvesting, they are stored for six months in brine in old Barolo barrels to remove the bitter substances. The wine barrels also give them a certain sweetness. They are then pitted and preserved in the best olive oil. Their flavour is spicy and nutty. SUPERIORE.DE

This paté is ideal for canapés, as a spread under cooked ham, for preparing vitello tonnato, for flavouring mayonnaises in combination with capers and for salad and pasta sauces. SUPERIORE.DE

Golden yellow honey with a fine floral scent. Its creamy consistency makes it the ideal bread spread, which is also suitable for sweetening pastries and drinks. Eight colonies of the gold bee (Mellifera Ligustica) perform their useful service around the vineyards of Salcheto, Poggio Piglia and La Bandita and provide us with this delicious delicacy in the finest organic quality.

The honey comes from the Terre Nere winery's own production from a chestnut forest on Mount Etna at an altitude of up to 1,200 metres. Chestnut honey tends to crystallise very slowly and irregularly or even remain liquid. It is particularly rich in minerals, moderately sweet and has an appealing bitter flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

The extraordinary floral aroma of this very rare wildflower honey comes from a variety of different wild flowers that grow on the slopes of Etna. SUPERIORE.DE

Note: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably protected from light.

Sulla is a herbaceous plant that is typical of the Mediterranean region and is widespread in Abruzzo, Molise, Calabria and Sicily. It comes from the legume family and its honey has a very light colour, which clearly distinguishes it from darker varieties such as Melata or Castagno. Its flavour is extremely delicate, as is its aroma, with a delicate, very pleasant vegetal note. SUPERIORE.DE

Terre Neres orange blossom honey comes from the flowers of the orange trees that grow in the plain of Catania. The bees collect the nectar in spring. It has a very relaxing and calming effect. SUPERIORE.DE

The Nocellara del Belice region is located in the western province of Trapani in Sicily, where the traditional olive variety the same name grows. Planeta's pure olio from the green, fleshy fruit is produced using the Veronelli method and has a strong and pleasantly balanced flavour with hints of green peppers. Can be used universally for both hot and cold dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

The pure olive oil from the Biancolilla variety is produced using the Veronelli method - like all other olive oils from Planeta. Light yellow-green in colour, it has a mild aroma of ripe Mediterranean vegetables. Exceptionally balanced, mild, almost delicate in flavour, this olive oil is an excellent accompaniment to light cuisine and desserts. SUPERIORE.DE

Fresh, green colour with golden reflections and a seductive aroma of herbs and tomatoes. Fruity flavour with a delicate, tart finish. Great value! SUPERIORE.DE

L'Olionovo – this is how the farmers describe the state of the oil when it leaves the oil mill freshly pressed after the authentic stone grinding process. The Olio di Oliva Extra Vergine from the Castellare di Castellina estate is made from fruit of the Frantoio, Pendolino, Ascolane, Moraiolo and Leccino varieties. When the olives are cold-pressed, the fruit reveals its intensely bright emerald green colour. The aroma is grassy and stimulating. The flavour is fruity, of medium intensity, with a hint of artichoke. Rich in polyphenols, it perfectly reflects the authentic spicy notes of a high-quality olive oil. This oil is a real treat for the palate with fresh bread, but also a great accompaniment to grilled vegetables or fish. SUPERIORE.DE

Balduccio is made up of around 9,000 organically cultivated olive trees, all located on the picturesque Montalbano hills between Florence and Montecatini Terme, and an oil mill that is so popular with local farmers that the most popular dates for pressing between 15 October and 15 November have been fully booked on the waiting list since the summer. This is because Balduccio not only presses its own olives, but also makes its modern technology available to other olive producers. Over the last 20 years, Balduccio has gained recognition and respect as an oil mill among local producers. It is not only the customers who are impressed by the quality. The ambition to produce top-quality oils is also increasingly inspiring other olive growers.

And the truly excellent quality of the Balduccio extra virgin is no coincidence. The Montalbano terroir produces high-quality, aromatic olives. However, the transformation of the natural qualities into a clean, fruity olive oil typical of the terroir is only possible because Andreas März and his sons have been working for years on improving the quality of olive oil and consistently putting their findings into practice.

The Balduccio oil has a subtle aroma of green almonds, artichokes and fresh, green olives; in the mouth, thanks to the high Moraiolo content, it tastes strong and full-bodied, green-fruity and actually only subtly bitter; the best comes at the end: an impressive pungency, given by the extremely high polyphenol values of this vintage. SUPERIORE.DE

A multi-layered oil from the Chianti Classico. Powerful finesse, with aromas of freshly cut grass, notes of honey and sultanas. The flavour is peppery and spicy. SUPERIORE.DE

A top organic oil from the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The strong, intensely fruity oil has notes of rocket and radish and is ideal for making savoury Mediterranean starters or for refining meat and vegetable dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

The olive groves, around 1,000 plants of the Coreggiolo variety, stand on hilly ground with excellent exposure - the most favourable conditions for this high-quality, single-varietal olive oil, which is produced organically. A wonderful addition to Mediterranean cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderfully intense, fresh-smelling olive oil with a golden colour. Very aromatic, grassy flavour with a peppery note. SUPERIORE.DE
