Discover Faresse Ogliarola Barese Olive Oil 250ml on sale: High quality despite a short shelf life – now at a promotional price!

For the Faresse Ogliarola Barese olive oil by Olio Ciccolella from Apulia, only the best olives of the iconic Ogliarola Barese variety are used. This gives the green-gold shimmering Olio Ciccolella Faresse made from Ogliarola Barese olives a delicate, soft, and refined character, rounding off dishes with its typical almond aroma. Its almost sweet taste and scent, which evokes notes of banana and yellow apple in addition to almonds, make it an ideal partner for poultry, fish, blanched vegetables, and fine salads.

The 250ml bottle is perfect for sampling the olive oil or giving it as a gift.

This special olive oil is a monocultivar, extra virgin olive oil. Only a small proportion of Italy's olive oils are produced as single-varietal, using only one type of olive; most oils are blends of different varieties. A monocultivar olive oil requires significant experience and know-how from the producer, but in the pursuit of excellence, single-varietal olive oil represents a milestone. With single-varietal olive oil, the variety can particularly well showcase its character, although any flaws, such as harvesting too early or too late, would also be immediately apparent.

Ciccolella – Ogliarola Barese Olive Oil from Apulia

The Ciccolella family has owned large estates in the province of Bari in southern Italy since 1878. With approximately 8,000 olive trees of the Coratina and Ogliarola Barese varieties, the olive groves of Azienda Olio Ciccolella cover a large area between the towns of Giovinazzo and Molfetta, both located directly by the sea, and Terlizzi inland. Here, in the north of the Terra di Bari, beats the heart of Apulian olive production.

For over 4 generations, the Ciccolellas have passionately dedicated themselves to the care of their olive trees, the hand-harvesting of olives, gentle pressing in their own mill in Molfetta, and bottling in aroma-protecting dark glass bottles to create a 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil.

Giuseppe Ciccolella has expanded the knowledge of Apulian oil tradition with technological innovations. Thanks to a photovoltaic system that allows the company to be autonomous for 9 months of the year, the Azienda only purchases clean energy during the three months of milling to meet the increased demand. The pomace is reapplied to the fields as organic fertilizer. The packaging that protects the Olio Ciccolella also consists of a dark glass bottle, an aluminum cap, and a paper label.
