Nocellara del Belice: The Soul of our Land

Originally from the Belice Valley, in the province of Trapani, Nocellara del Belice represents one of the most iconic olive varieties in Italy. In Castelvetrano, the cultivation of this cultivar is an art passed down through generations, deeply rooted in the history and economy of the territory.

One Olive, Two DOP Excellences

It is a unique case in Europe: Nocellara del Belice has obtained the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) recognition both as a table olive and as an extra virgin oil.

  • Table Olive: Large, crunchy, and bright green. It is transformed following the “Castelvetrano method”, which preserves its sweetness and firmness of the flesh.
  • Valle del Belice DOP Oil: A cold-extracted oil that encloses intense aromas of cut grass, green tomato, and artichoke.
