Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1L Bottle

Quite simply, the best olive oil we have ever bottled.

The Story

This is the first Di Bruno Bros. product to carry the PDO seal, signifying Protected Designation of Origin by the Italian government. In 2018, we convened our vaunted team of tastemakers to improve upon our best-selling Sicilian oil. We collaborated once more with Manfredi Barbera, our friend in Palermo and one of the finest olive oil producers in the world. Emilio, our VP of Culinary Pioneering, had his olive oil horizons broadened long ago with help from Manfredi.

"Manfredi Barbera was pressing and blending olives from Sicily to show the world how great Sicilian fruit was. The first time I tasted it, a light went off in my head. Until then we only sold commodity brands that were quickly becoming staples of local supermarket shelves. After tasting the Barbera olive oil and sampling it next to what we had on the shelves, it was clear to me that I needed to phase those out and start to look for more of the quality of estate oils that Manfedi was producing. I met Manfredi the first time that I went to the Fancy Food Show in NYC at the Javitz center. Manfredi spent an hour educating me on how to taste olive oil, and what to look for in its aromatics and texture. Then we spoke about how it is used in Italy. I realized then that we here in The States were much too casual about our food and we needed to think of our food as much more precious; we needed to stop taking it for granted. I credit Manfredi’s passion for a simple ingredient as my inspiration for wanting to eat and taste everything that I came across."
