Sicilian extra virgin olive oil Giarraffa

The Giarraffa olive variety is one of the best known and is thought to have very ancient origins. It is widespread in the central-western area of Sicily, especially in the Giuliana area, where there are trees characterized by many stems and a very developed crown; this is probably linked to the Saracens' habit of tying together various plants to create sturdy trees. With the veraison process, the drupes take on a color that can vary from brown to burgundy to intense black, their shape is elliptical, with a round apex. These fruits ripen early and are grown since the end of August and the beginning of September.
