Planeta Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a superb, traditional, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Sicily. It is bottled as a Sicilia IGP and is made from a blend of Biancolilla, Cerasuola and Nocellara del Belice. From the 2022 harvest onwards, this oil is organically certified and has a smart new presentation.
Although Planeta are most famous for their wines, including arguably Sicily’s finest Chardonnay, they have also produced the finest olive oil for many years. Planeta grow Biancolilla, Cerasuola and Nocellara del Belice olives, three Sicilian varieties which have been rediscovered and reinstated by Planeta as flagship Sicilian olive varieties. They produce three olive oils, this excellent organic oil and two 100% varietal blends made from destoned fruit, one from 100% Biancolilla and one from 100% Nocellara del Belice. This oil is not filtered, fined or centrifuged before bottling, retaining all of the natural aromatic and flavour compounds so painstakingly grown in the olive throughout the year.

However, the complex palate makes is ideal drizzled over green lea salads and simply prepared river fish, octopus and squid. It is also great drizzled over grilled red meats, lamb chops, vegetable dished, young, fresh cheeses or into soups.
