NOCELLARA DEL BELICE OLIVES

Nocellara del Belice olives, which are collected by the end of September, are an Italian fruit and vegetable product. The Belice Valley oil is an extra virgin olive oil with a protected designation of origin (PDO). The olive produces an oil with a pleasant scent and a particularly intense and full-bodied taste. 

The traditional cultivation of the vine allows the production of excellent wines, both red and white, which are more and more known and appreciated around the world. In Sicily wine is made from the time of the Phoenicians and today Sicily is the Italian region with the greatest extension of vineyards in Italy. Most of the vineyards are in the province of Trapani. The first protagonist is the ‘’Nero d’Avola’’ wine. 

The pecorino is produced exclusively with raw whole sheep’s milk to which is added the rennet in a wooden vat. The production of sheep’s milk is typically Sicilian. It guarantees a finished product that is unique and excellent. With sheep’s milk ,after much work, you can also produce the sheep mozzarella, made only in Sicily. There are so many Sicilian cheeses , just like the ‘’pecorino DOP’’, worked with traditional methods. 

 Among the flowering species the first to color the landscape are the white clouds of almond trees and fragrant orange blossoms. These are some wild flowers that can be found in Sicily.
