The oil: The cultivar Moresca, with its unmistakable aromatic balance, prevails in the blend dedicated to the founder of our family: Don Ciccio. Green with yellowish reflections. Medium-intense fruity aroma, with clear notes of artichoke and fresh grass and a slight almond scent. Sharp herbaceous with floral notes, sweet at first, with a pleasant bitterness and significant but not excessive spiciness. Rather fluid. Pair it with grilled meat, bruschetta, and vegetables. About the producer: Ruta is a family. The business is based on tradition, renewed from father to son, since 1953. Tradition towards innovation and research into the cultural development of the territory. The founder, Francesco Ruta (Don Ciccio), built the first mill with grinding stones and hydraulic presses. Today, his son Giorgio and his wife Anna Valeria, along with their children, carry on the business with the same passion. Every step is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, respecting nature and traditions. Founded in the 1950s, in Castelluccio (Sicily), the olive oil is produced in small quantities, from cold extraction carried out within the first 6-8 hours after the olives are harvested. This is the way to achieve maximum organoleptic quality even at the cost of losing large quantities of product.
