Olio Isola
From the ancient olive trees of Pantelleria comes an olive oil that reflects the island's deep connection with nature and tradition.
Among the scents of Mediterranean vegetation and the dry-stone walls that shape Pantelleria's landscape, it's easy to overlook one of the island's most remarkable treasures: its ancient creeping olive trees.
Strong winds, intense sunshine and the salt carried by the sea have shaped these extraordinary trees, making them as unique as the island itself. For centuries, Pantelleria's farmers have worked in harmony with nature, refining a traditional pruning technique that creates the perfect balance between cultivation and the environment. A typical olive tree on Pantelleria rarely grows taller than 1.5 metres, yet its branches can spread across more than 100 square metres.
From these extraordinary trees comes Olio Isola.
The journey from harvest to Olio Isola
Thanks to Pantelleria's warm, dry climate, the olive harvest begins as early as mid-September, making Olio Isola one of the first extra virgin olive oils produced each year in Italy.
The olives are hand-picked and placed in small ventilated crates before reaching the mill within a few hours, where they are washed and cold-extracted using state-of-the-art technology.
After gentle filtration to remove any remaining traces of pulp and water, the oil is bottled under a protective nitrogen atmosphere to preserve its freshness and quality.
Thanks to this meticulous process, Olio Isola retains the aromas, flavours and distinctive character that make it truly unique.
Brilliant, with a vibrant green colour and golden highlights, Olio Isola reveals elegant aromas of tomato, basil, mint, artichoke, freshly cut grass and sweet almond.
Smooth and well balanced on the palate, it offers notes of lettuce, chicory, celery and green olive. Gentle bitterness and a delicate peppery finish lead to lingering hints of sweet almond.
An extra virgin olive oil that captures the authentic spirit of Pantelleria, born from the harmony between nature and tradition.
