Olive Oil

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

Carte Noire is a highly limited Ligurian drip oil, which is obtained using a special process. Only completely intact olives are used for this. After grinding them between granite stones, the paste is spread on mats. These are placed on top of each other, after which the olive oil obtained in this way runs downwards without pressure and is collected there. The result is a mild oil, not without certain rustic notes, with a slight sweetness and hints of spices, almonds, pine nuts, apple and vanilla. Excellent for salads, for flavouring fresh cheeses, but also with white meat. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Carte Noire drip oil impresses with intense notes of dried fruit, herbs such as basil and tarragon, sweet almonds and a slightly spicy finish." Der Feinschmecker

Primo Fiore is a very mild, harmonious oil with delicate notes of artichoke, apple and vegetables and a golden yellow colour. It goes well with vegetables such as asparagus and artichokes, and is a favourite with bread salad, caprese and ricotta. SUPERIORE.DE

"Maria Pacelli has been defending her pioneering position in Campania for years: On five hectares, she produces the famous Primo Fiore oil - a medium-fruity cuvée made from three typical regional olive varieties." Der Feinschmecker

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.

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

"There are around 1,500 olive trees on our estate. Many of them are centuries old. And we feel an obligation towards them, a historical memory that flows through our veins today. I would never dare to say that our oil is the best oil in the world. There is no such thing as the best oil in the world. I would say that there are certainly others who look after their trees and their olives like we do, but none who do it more than we do.

Our trees have always been grown organically. They are carefully pruned every two years. The olives are all picked by hand and the day's harvest is pressed every evening. The oil is decanted and naturally clarified until February/March and bottled without filtration. Our volcanic soils give it sweetness, finesse and flavour. The cold nights limit the presence of the oil fly. The result is an excellent extra virgin olive oil." Marco de Grazia, Eigentümer

The production of high-quality olive oils at Pandolfa dates back to the 16th century. The olives all come from the company's own olive groves around Predappio. Intense, bright yellow-green colour. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly picked olives with an intense flavour of wild herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and delicate, with a sweet note and a slight sharpness that diminishes with further months of storage (cool and dark). SUPERIORE.DE
