Barbera Oil: The Authentic Essence of Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Tradition of Manfredi Barbera
Immerse yourself in the rich Sicilian oil tradition with the Barbera Oil collection, masters in the production of extra virgin olive oil since 1894. For over five generations, this historic company, now internationally recognized as Premiati Oleifici Barbera, passionately carries on the legacy of figures like Manfredi Barbera, skillfully combining artisanal methods with cutting-edge technologies to offer you an oil with an authentic taste and high organoleptic qualities.
A Century of History and Passion for Barbera Oil:
From its founding as the Society of Sicilian Oil Mills, the beating heart of the oil tradition of Menfi, to winning the first gold medal at the 1900 Paris World Expo, Barbera Oil has always embodied the excellence of Sicilian oil. A pioneer in packaging innovation with the introduction of glass bottling as early as 1910, the company continues today to combine precious artisanal know-how with a strong commitment to sustainability, bringing the true flavors of Sicily to tables around the world, following the vision of generations like that of Manfredi Barbera.
The Heart of the Territory: Selected Cultivars and Harvest for Barbera Oil:
The olives that give life to Barbera Oil come from the lush hillside vineyards of western Sicily, particularly from the renowned Trapanese and Belice Valleys. The unique Mediterranean microclimate of these areas promotes a slow and aromatic maturation. The main cultivars include the prized Nocellara del Belice DOP, with its fleshy pulp and slight bitter aftertaste, as well as the harmonious PGI blends of Biancolilla, Giaraffa, and Moresca, which release delicate floral aromas and fresh herbal notes. The harvest, carried out carefully by hand or through light mechanical shaking in the early morning hours, ensures the optimal preservation of the precious organoleptic and nutritional properties of the olives destined for the production of Barbera Oil.
A Production Process that Enhances the Quality of Barbera Oil:
At the Barbera Oil mill, the freshly harvested olives are carefully selected to remove leaves and impurities. The cold pressing, maintaining a controlled temperature below 27 °C, preserves the valuable polyphenols and antioxidants present in Barbera Oil. This is followed by malaxation and centrifugation to separate the oil from the pomace and vegetation water. Depending on preferences, both filtered oil, for greater clarity, and "musto oil" unfiltered, for those seeking a more intense and rustic flavor of Barbera Oil, are offered.
A Unique Sensory Experience with Barbera Oil:
The Barbera Oil presents itself with an elegant emerald green color with golden reflections. On the nose, it releases herbaceous aromas, with delicate notes of artichoke and fresh almond. On the palate, it reveals a balanced flavor, with a pleasant harmony between bitterness and spiciness, leaving a persistent aftertaste of dried fruit, characteristics that testify to the care in the production of Manfredi Barbera and his team.
Guarantee of Excellence: Certifications and Recognitions for Barbera Oil:
The superior quality of Barbera Oil is evidenced by the prestigious certifications DOP "Valle del Belice" and IGP Sicilia, as well as the historic gold medals won in Paris in 1900 and in Saint Louis in 1904. The recognition of Manfredi Sr. as an arbiter by the International Olive Council further underscores the authority and expertise of the company in the field of Barbera oil.
Commitment to the Future: Packaging and Sustainability of Barbera Oil:
Barbera Oil pays great attention to the environment, using dark glass bottles to protect the oil from UV rays, FSC labels, and recyclable cardboard packaging. The commitment to a circular economy translates into the use of pomace for the production of bioenergy and compost.
A Valuable Ally for Your Health: Barbera Oil:
