Olio Principe

The company ""Oleificio Agnellaro di TerraSi Rosa"" The history of the Arangellaro, Aragon, in the province of Agrigento, is a history made of sacrifices and a lot of passion that has its roots in 1954, when the progenitor Rosario purchased about twenty hectares of land on the sweet Sicani hills of the territory of Aragona (AG). Over the years the original company expanded: the olive grove passed from 600 to 6000 plants, with the varieties grown with olives from Oil of Passulunara, Nocellara, Biancolilla and, in 1991, it equipped with a modern continuous cycle oil mill, entirely Renewed and enlarged in 2000, equipped with a air -conditioned storage area and bottling system. Sure of the goodness of its product and the products of the neighboring territory, since 2003 the company has started to market its extra virgin olive oil, bottled with the ""Principe"" brand. ""Prince oil"" extra virgin olive oil is obtained for simple squeezing of fresh olives. The control over the quality of the oil begins on the field, from the moment of flowering up to the collection that takes place by hand brucatura between October and November. Within 24 - 48 hours from the collection, the olives, held in area baskets, are motivated in the family and oil and oil is stored in steel silos, kept at a temperature of 18 - 20 ° under inert gases. In these conditions the organoleptic characteristics of the oil remain unchanged over time.
