ITALY - Medium Intensity

This iconic Sicilian Nocellara del Belice (NO-CHAY-LARA and BELL-EE-CHE) is from the Belice Valley on the Italian island of Sicily. Its sweet, complex flavors are punctuated by a peppery kick. This early harvest example was carefully crafted from pristine green olives. Flavor characteristics include floral undertones and notes of creamy green almond. Lingering astringency and Szechuan peppercorn on the finish.
