A single cultivar. A single estate. The character of Sicily in every drop.
Made exclusively from Nocellara del Belice olives grown in our estate in western Sicily, Il Sicano is an organic extra virgin olive oil with intense fruitiness, freshness and balance.
The name
The Sicani are traditionally regarded among the earliest inhabitants of the island. “Il Sicano” is a tribute to that ancient agricultural identity and to a land where olive trees have shaped the landscape for centuries.
A contemporary oil rooted in an ancient Mediterranean culture.
The oil
One of Sicily’s most distinctive olive cultivars, transformed into a vivid, aromatic extra virgin olive oil.
The olives come from the Rocche della Sala estate in the Valle del Belice, in the territory of Partanna. They are processed at low temperature in a modern two-phase continuous-cycle plant.
After extraction, the oil is filtered to help preserve its quality over time and stored protected from oxygen. The result is a green oil with golden highlights, naturally rich in polyphenols and marked by an intense, harmonious fruitiness.
Tasting profile
Fresh-cut grass, artichoke and tomato leaf with a clean, intense fruitiness.
Harmonious structure with a pleasant bitterness and a lively peppery finish.
Persistent yet elegant, with freshness and character rather than heaviness.
From our estate
Rocche della Sala is located in western Sicily, between Partanna and Salaparuta, within a landscape of rolling hills shaped by sun and wind. The estate extends over more than 140 hectares and is farmed according to organic principles.
The olive tree is part of the identity of this place. Here, Nocellara del Belice finds the conditions to express the intense and harmonious profile that defines Il Sicano.
Nocellara del Belice
Nocellara del Belice is closely linked to western Sicily and especially to the Belice Valley. Its generous fruit, aromatic personality and natural richness give the oil a clear identity: green notes, fragrance, structure and a distinctive peppery finish.
The territory
Partanna and the Valle del Belice lie close to Selinunte, in a corner of Sicily where agricultural landscapes and Mediterranean history coexist.
Bright days, cooler nights and constant ventilation accompany the olive groves through the season. Il Sicano is designed to tell this place through a single ingredient: Nocellara del Belice olives.
