LONG TIME TO DISCOVER

We believed that we can find it and we found it. High quality organic olive oil at a reasonable price. Since we talked to almost every Slovenian olive oil producer and searched through Slovenian olive groves it became obvious to us that it is impossible to find high-quality organic olive oil at a lower price in Slovenia. The reason is simple: there is not a lot of really good (not only by taste but also by other "technical" characteristics) organic olive oil, so the price of Slovenian organic olive oil is higher. In Italy, however, there are more olive groves, so the price can be lower. But it is necessary to spend time and energy in order to find top quality oil at a good price on such a large market. We searched a lot and now we are very pleased that we have it in our offer: premium, organic olive oil from Sicily.

HOW IT STARTED

Polizzi oil-extraction plant was created about 60 years ago with Mr. Luigi Polizzi, who was very versatile and solid man. He began to develop his passion for olive oil. His daughter Michela Polizzi together with her children carried on the family tradition with the same care and attention, dedicating herself to the cultivation of their olive groves situated at an altitude of 600 meters on land in the town of Caltanissetta in the heart of Sicily.

Unfortunately Mrs. Michela died and today her sons Luigi and Mario are taking care of the olive groves and are expanding this great passion for olive oil on to their children.

The most prestigious variety of olives: Nocellara del Belice, Nostrana, Etnea, Messinese and Tonda Iblea are hand picked and cold pressed within 24 hours in the family oil press. The traditional methods retain all the organoleptic characteristics of olives. A unique extra virgin olive oil is extracted which is both intense and fragrant and has received a great deal of recognition at international level. The last, which they are proud of is the title »GRAN MENZIONE" that their olive oil got on the 18th national competition of extra virgin olive oil.

The company with an eye of tradition recently purchased the best technology on the market in order to guarantee their consumers continuous quality over time.

Their pride and joy is the Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil production with an »Ecocert Italia« certificate, which is originally cultivated and is a product which thanks to its organoleptic quality has gained a prestigious market position.
