Villa Zottopera is a family farm dating back to the 18th century that today is run by Giuseppe Rosso with passion and skill. Inside the ancient estate one can still find the old mill and stone basins that were once used to settle the oil. Villa Zottopera is made using the Tonda Iblea olive, a rare cultivar from south-eastern Sicily which has been grown for centuries.

Description: An intense limpid golden yellow colour with light green hues. Its aroma is definite and fruity with a distinct note of medium ripe tomato, white apple and hints of black pepper. Bitter and lightly spicy, it is ideal on tomato bruschetta, spinach salads, marinated tuna, hearty soups or with aged cheeses.
