Oleificio Guccione, founded in 1966, has been producing fine olive oil in the historic baroque village of Chiaramonte Gulfi, nestled in the Iblei Mountains of Southeastern Sicily. Known as one of the island's premier olive oil production areas, the region boasts average polyphenol levels of 400mg/kg and extremely low acidity below 0.2%, ensuring premium quality.
Zahara, a prestigious olive oil from Oleificio Guccione, has been honored for the past four consecutive years with the exclusive "3 leaves" designation from Gambero Rosso, the highest recognition in Italy. Zahara has also received accolades from leading gourmet food organizations and magazines, including Gambero Rosso, Slow Food, and Der Feinshmecker, solidifying its status as a top-quality olive oil.
Zahara is an exceptionally tasty, full-bodied, and well-balanced extra virgin olive oil rich in polyphenols (antioxidants) and vitamins, with a low acidity level. It offers distinct notes of tomato and tomato leaf, Mediterranean herbs, thistle, nettle, and white pepper. Perfect for both cooked and raw vegetables, tomato Caprese salad, Sicilian orange salads, legume soups, grilled meat, and fish, Zahara enhances a wide range of dishes.
Zahara is crafted from the heritage variety "Tonda Iblea," a unique olive type originating from this region. Guccione adheres to traditional artisanal methods passed down through generations. Olives are carefully hand-picked from centuries-old trees and pressed into oil within hours of harvest in the family mill using cold pressing techniques. This method preserves the oil's intense flavor and maximum nutritional benefits.
Zahara makes a perfect gift for any food lover. Each bottle is a unique masterpiece that embodies the rich tradition, aroma, and colors of the region. The bottle's design is an homage to Sicilian history and has received significant packaging design awards. A thoughtful and cherished gift, Zahara is sure to delight and impress.
