Category: Cerasuola
Cerasuola is one of the most ancient Sicilian cultivars, mainly found in the western part of the region (Trapani and Palermo areas); it displays a peculiarity which makes this cultivar perfect for the Sicilian territory: its high resistance to dryness and to nutrient-poor soils. Cerasuola is defined as “androsterile” which means that it needs to be pollinated from other olive varieties (e.g. Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla and Giarraffa). Cerasuola is characterized by a high productivity, and it usually confers its EVO oils flavour notes of grass, artichoke and tomato. Along with other Sicilian cultivars, Cerasuola is the main protagonist of 3 Sicilian PDO: Val Di Mazara, Valli Trapanesi and Valle del Belice.
