The Palermo region has beautiful oils to offer, as Miceli & Sensat impressively demonstrate.
Delicato Bio is a truly special oil. It has a Catalan identity, yet impresses with its Sicilian character. How is that possible? Quite simply: Duccio Morozzo della Rocca, who lends his name to the final master blend, mixes the finest batches of single-varietal Arbequina oils. Arbequina is actually native to Catalonia.
There, near Barcelona, Paolo Miceli successfully managed the once-grand olive estate "Finca la Gramanosa," which belonged to Danone heir Maurice Botton. The estate is now under Chinese ownership, and Paolo Miceli has returned to his native island of Sicily. Delicato Bio, made from Arbequina olives cultivated in Sicily, is likely to remind him of his successful time in Catalonia.
Aroma profile:
Delicato Bio impresses with a gentle and elegant fragrance profile that highlights sweet notes of almond, green salad, and green tomato. These harmonious aromas lend the oil a subtle yet sophisticated character.Taste:
On the palate, Delicato presents a slight bitterness and a delicate, harmonious spiciness. The herbal and nutty nuances combine to create a sweet and mild taste experience, underscored by the unique character of the "Sicilianized" Arbequina olives.Aftermath :
The oil impresses with its long and pleasant persistence, in which the sweet and herbal aromas fade harmoniously, leaving an elegant freshness.
Delicato Bio is ideal as an accompaniment to delicate dishes such as light salads, steamed vegetables, or carpaccio. It lends dishes a delicate touch and enhances the natural flavor of the ingredients. Its unique origin from "Sicilianized" Arbequina olives makes it a special treat for gourmets and lovers of mild, balanced olive oils.
