Every season, olives are carefully hand-picked and cold-pressed within hours of harvesting to preserve their natural aromas, antioxidants, and nutritional value. In doing so, Frantoio Galioto captures the true essence of Sicilian terroir, making each bottle a pure expression of artisanal Mediterranean flavour.

Castel di Lego Tonda Iblea — A Signature Sicilian Olive Oil

The extra virgin olive oil Castel di Lego monocultivar Tonda Iblea from Frantoio Galioto is a standout example of Sicilian olive oil prized for its intense fruitiness and aromatic complexity. Made from the native Tonda Iblea olive, this oil displays a rich bouquet of scents — including green tomato, freshly cut grass, aromatic herbs, and hints of almond and artichoke — that reflect the unique soil and climate of the Iblei Mountains. Its taste is harmonious and predominantly sweet and spicy, with only a gentle bitterness, while the colour reveals vibrant green hues with golden reflections.

Cold extracted and boasting a very low acidity, this olive oil is rich in valuable nutrients such as polyphenols and vitamin E, making it not just delicious but also health-supporting. Whether used to enhance vegetables, salads, red or white meat, or enjoyed with freshly baked bread, it elevates every dish with pure Sicilian character.

The Frantoio Galioto Tonda Iblea Extra Virgin Olive Oil won a Great Taste Star from the Guild of Fine Food in 2026. Here are some of the judges comments: "A lovely verdant aroma and gentle greenish-yellow hue to the colour. This ticks all of the boxes: grassy notes, peppery finish, great viscosity and good finish. We loved the low acidity, and found this EVOO to be very enjoyable...."This verdant olive oil's green-yellow tones and fresh nose translate to a lovely long finish on the palate: green, grassy, almost fruity-sweet initially, with a gentle kick at the end, and a very pleasant warm and rich mouthfeel."
