ORO SICANI Amici Reserve 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil
What on Earth is Amici Reserve?
Amici Reserve is our in-house curated, limited edition Extra Virgin Olive Oil that we make by cold-pressing the olive varietals on ORO SICANI Estate, as well as the top cultivar from our community. Every year here in the Sicani Mountains is so unique, and Sicily’s powerful, ever-evolving weather creates such interesting flavours within the olives and the EVOO in turn.
ORO SICANI Amici Reserve is here to celebrate the farming friends we’ve made within our community and showcase the incomparable flavour of our breathtaking province.
We created ORO SICANI Amici Reserve 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil to capture and share with you the essence of each 12-month harvest cycle. These small batch releases are limited edition because each harvest year's EVOO cannot be recreated; it will have nuanced tasting notes from the different climate conditions and the different percentages of olive varietals that we cold-press into that particular year's EVOO.
The predominant olive varietals within Amici Reserve include: Nocellara del Belice (fruity, almost creamy, nutty notes), Biancolilla (light, fruity, herbaceous), Cerasuola (bold, spicy bitterness), and Piricuddara varietals (grassy with mild pepperiness), which all contribute their distinctive character to this luxurious EVOO.
Historically, it is quite difficult to even access the olives from our region because the locals tend to cold-press their own harvest and distribute the EVOO locally. ORO SICANI Amici Reserve 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil is here to celebrate the farming friends we’ve made within our community and showcase the incomparable flavour of our breathtaking province.
Amici Reserve is available to ORO SICANI Olive Tree Membership members as a “preview” – an antipasto of sorts – to whet your appetite for your own EVOO. Our spectacular ORO SICANI Amici Reserve 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a true reflection of the authentic taste of Sicily’s Sicani Mountains. We’re so excited for you to experience it.
