EVO TENUTE L’ORO DEL LAGO (2025)

Oro del Lago EVO oil is a superior category blend of mainly Biancolilla varieties. The other varieties (Nocellara del Belice, Cerasuola, Carolea, Nocellara Messinese and Giarraffa) were chosen to give the oil the harmony of aromas that enhance its irresistible fragrance and the famous “tingle”. The result is an oil with a medium-light fruitiness, slightly spicy notes and an intense green color.

Pairings: It finds its maximum expression when used raw on a slice of fragrant bread, to season a raw fish or to enhance a tartare. Also perfect on white and red meats and to give an unmistakable note to every recipe. The great value of our oil is that of embellishing dishes and enhancing their flavors.

Cultivar
Biancolilla: A native cultivar with a refined taste, it produces an oil that is delicate on the palate and elegant with rather intense hints of almond, fresh tomato and artichoke. This variety contains all the traditional flavors of Sicily.

Nocellara del Belice: A thousand-year-old cultivar with an intense flavour, it produces an oil with a slightly spicy and bitter flavour but with a hint of sweetness.

Nocellara Messinese: A perfect cultivar for the hill climate, it produces a slightly fruity oil usually associated with sensations of almond and aromatic herbs.

Cerasuola: A very widespread cultivar in Sicily, it produces an oil with a medium to intense fruitiness, together with sensations of fresh grass and in some cases of tomato, artichoke and thistle.

Carolea: A centuries-old cultivar widespread throughout the South, it produces oil with a harmonious and balanced flavour, with light spicy and bitter hints.

Giarraffa: One of the oldest varieties, dating back to several centuries before the birth of Christ, produces a light fruity oil with a spicy and bitter aftertaste and rich in antioxidants.
