Sicilian Food: How to Make Olive Oil in Sicily!

Olive oil is made all over the island of Sicily. Many families have their own trees, there are cooperatives of farmers, and big companies, too.

Like wine, the olives reflect the terroir and climate in which they are grown. Mostly, a handful of olive types are used for olive oil in Sicily, but there is production of heritage cultivars, too. Some oil tastes herbaceous and some spicy, all of it is precious.

After each year of tending to the trees, making Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a pretty simple process: you pick (mostly by hand), you clean, your press and the oil is extracted.

It is like gold.
