Primo... the green gold of Chiaramonte Gulfi

Chiaramonte Gulfi is located in the province of Ragusa amidst the magic of the Hyblaean Mountains, which offer perfect soil for the cultivation of olive trees, especially the native variety called “tonda”. It is an olive that the inhabitants of these lands have always used on the table because it is particularly large with a good percentage of pleasant and sweet pulp.

The Cutrera family is one of the most important companies in Sicilian olive oil production. Born from Giovanni Cutrera's project in 1979 and now led by his children, he works olive trees from more than 50 hectares of property. All the olives are found in the territory of the PDO Monti Iblei in cinematic landscapes, which alternate the red colors of clay burned in the sun with the silvery green of the olive trees illuminated by the clear blue of the sky and the luminous reflections of the sea in the distance.

Primo is an oil that comes from the first milling and therefore retains all the pleasantness of the olive matured at an early age. It is very pleasant, pleasant in its fruity green component, with sensations of a green apple that then evolves over time into more typical citrus sensations. Its initial balsamic notes are very intriguing. It is an oil that has a nice sapidity and a nice tannic component that leads to a substantial feeling of the characteristic itch. But it is an ideal product for vegetable soups, for raw fish such as Sicilian Red Shrimp, for raw or grilled prawns. A few drops on pasta with sardines elevates its aromatic value, bringing it to unimaginable levels of pleasure.

It is also excellent with red meat, with tartar and with Italian meat beats. On pasta it is excellent raw both on simple tomato pasta and on pasta with pesto. Ideal for garnishing steaks, fish brodetti and anchovies marinades. For its light spiciness, we also recommend it with a typical Sicilian herb, very aromatic, steamed: tenderume!
