Barbera Baglio delle Saline DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Mediterranean Fruity Flavor for Your Dishes

The Essence of Sicilian Tradition

The Baglio delle Saline DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Trapani Valleys is, therefore, a high-quality product, characterised by a golden yellow colour with delicate green reflections.

This oil offers a herbaceous scent, accompanied by persistent aromatic notes, which undoubtedly evoke the freshness of the Sicilian countryside.

On the palate, it stands out for its medium fruitiness, enriched by hints of tomato and green apple, making it an ideal choice to accompany fish-based dishes, fresh cheeses and bruschetta.

Excellence and Certifications

The production of this oil is managed by Manfredi Barbera & Figli SpA, a renowned olive oil producer, internationally recognized for the excellence of its products.

Each stage of production therefore takes place according to the highest standards of quality and food hygiene, guaranteed by important international certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 22005:2007, BRC certificate (British Retail Consortium) and IFS Certificate (International Food Standards).

Modern and Technologically Advanced Plant

The company's headquarters are located in Palermo, while in 2003 a modern production plant was inaugurated in Custonaci, a splendid sunny location in the province of Trapani.

This plant is therefore equipped with cutting-edge technologies and is divided into three operating areas: a storage area, an experimental mill and a warehouse.

The finished product storage warehouse is therefore temperature-controlled and can contain up to 7,000 quintals of oil, kept under nitrogen to protect it from oxidation.

Next to this area there is a packaging room, with four fully automated lines for bottling the oil in bottles, cans and ceramics.

The use of nitrogen is also essential at this stage to ensure maximum integrity of the product and its optimal conservation over time.

Experimental Oil Mill

The experimental mill, unique in its kind worldwide, focuses on experimentation to constantly improve the quality of the oil produced.

All the olive preparation phases, from selection to cleaning and crushing, take place in an external area to keep the internal environment completely uncontaminated, where, therefore, the malaxation, the most delicate phase, takes place.

Milling Techniques

The company also has four different olive milling systems: disk crushing, hammer crushing, opposing stone roller crushing and pitting.

Finally, the third building, with a constant temperature of 18°C all year round, is intended for the storage of the finished product and packaging.

Characteristics of the Oil

Coming from the best olive groves of the "Valli Trapanesi", Baglio delle Saline Extra Virgin Olive Oil is of great value, obtained through a soft pressing of olives of the "Cerasuola" (80%), "Biancolilla" (10%) and "Nocellara del Belice" (10%) varieties.

The result is, therefore, a product with a cloudy appearance, a delicate aromatic smell and a medium fruity flavor with an aftertaste of tomato and wild mint.
