Frantoio Romano Vincenzo’s “PREMIUM” line of Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

LE SCIARE in Sicilian dialect is that land invested in the past by a flow of lava which was then hardened. The accumulations of lava slag smoothed by time have characterized the soils of the area enriching them with minerals and exclusive properties of the territory at the base of Etna Vulcano.

“Le Sciare” comes from a selection of olives of the Nocellara dell’ Etna, Tonda Iblea, Biancolilla varieties in varying percentages from year to year, harvested in volcanic soils of the Etna vulcano.

One of the most famous “symbols” of Sicily is to provide a handcrafted object combined with one of the Sicilian oils, to leave a memory of this land and an object to keep even after the content is finished. The legend of the “Moro” (Arabic) head dates back to the 11th century, when the Mori’s invaded Sicily and became part of the population, so much so that it blended perfectly with the Sicilian population. The history of this vase is in the label of the bottle with all the details of the origin of this vase which is found throughout Sicily.

The story of Testa di Moro is heavily featured in HBO TV series, The White Lotus - Season 2.
