Gran Cru: A Gift of Pure Excellence

The Oleaviva Reserve Blend is the result of a bold selection of native Sicilian cultivars — Tonda Iblea, Biancolilla, and Nocellara — grown on organically farmed groves kissed by the sun and shaped by the Mediterranean breeze. This blend expresses the richness of Sicily’s biodiversity and the savoir-faire of artisanal production.

Crafted in small batches and filtered for purity, it offers a vibrant sensory experience: on the palate, it opens with deep vegetal notes of green tomato, wild herbs, and artichoke, followed by hints of fresh almond and green apple. A lingering peppery finish adds complexity and structure.

A more intense and structured extra virgin olive oil, ideal for gourmet pairings and bold palates — produced in just 1,150 hand-numbered bottles, exclusively for members of the Oleaviva Club.
