Sorrentino - DOP Penisola Sorrentina Extra Virgin Olive Oil

An extra virgin olive oil from the Minucciola olive, grown on the Sorrento Peninsula and protected by the DOP Penisola Sorrentina designation — cold-extracted and presented in a handmade, hand-painted ceramic orcio in the Campanian tradition.

The Penisola Sorrentina is a thin strip of land between the Bay of Naples and the Bay of Salerno, where the mountains fall steeply into the sea and terraces of lemon groves and olive trees have been carved into the rock over centuries. It is a landscape of extraordinary particularity, and the Minucciola olive is shaped by the same Mediterranean microclimate and volcanic soil that defines it.

The DOP certification protects that origin precisely: the olives are grown and the oil produced within the designated Sorrentine area, with the character of the place preserved from harvest to bottle. The result is a delicate, harmonious oil with fresh herbaceous notes and a gentle finish — well suited to fish, fresh cheeses and raw vegetables. Certified by an inspection body authorised by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture.
