Our iconic Sicilian Nocellara del Belice from the Belice Valley displays a pleasant creamy mouth feel with sweet complex flavors punctuated by a peppery kick. This early harvest example was carefully crafted from pristine, green olives. Flavor characteristics include floral undertones and notes of creamy green almond. Lingering astringency and Szechuan peppercorn on the finish.
