Manfredi Barbera maintains traditional values with an innovative spirit to create quality products such as this fine 100% extra virgin olive oil. Barbera has located the most renowned olive growing zones in Sicily with specific microclimatic characteristic terrain, typology and exposure.

Cultivation Each phase of the cultivation (from the pruning to the harvesting of the olives) is constantly supervised, ensuring the best qualitative yield possible. Selected cultivators from each zone hand pick the olives at harvest and are brought the same day to the “frantoi” or oil presses. Bottling The oil thus selected, once pressed is decanted in steel tanks for a period of time between 2 to 10 weeks and then brought to the bottling plant in Palermo where monocultivar (a single olive variety) or blend (different olive varieties) are created. An on-site research laboratory inside the plant assures the severe and rigorous quality control necessary for such a great product. Click image to order
