What is Sicilian EVOO?

First, we need to understand what EVOO is. It stands for extra virgin olive oil, the highest quality grade of olive oil made from pure, cold-pressed olives. Sicilian EVOO is simply extra virgin olive oil made from olives grown in Sicily, where the climate and soil can give the oil its distinct flavor.

What makes Tuscanini's new Sicilian EVOO stand out is where it all begins.

Made from Sicilian olives grown in fertile volcanic soil, this EVOO reflects the richness of its environment. Because volcanic soil is packed with minerals, it produces olives with a deeper, more complex flavor. The olives are handpicked at peak ripeness and cold-pressed within 24 hours, a crucial step in preserving their natural aroma, vibrant taste, and beneficial antioxidants and vitamins. The result is an oil that tastes alive, fresh, and clean.

Tuscanini’s EVOO also comes in a generous size, making it ideal for home cooks who actually use their olive oil, not just save it for special occasions. It's packaged in a dark glass bottle to help protect flavor and freshness from light exposure. It’s the kind of bottle you’ll want to keep on the counter, ready to drizzle, finish, and elevate everyday cooking. Whether you’re sautéing, dressing, or serving it straight from the bottle, this is an oil for people who appreciate authentic, high-quality Sicilian EVOO.

When to use it?

EVOO is commonly used for finishing dishes, dressings, and everyday cooking where its flavor can stand out. Bitter greens like arugula is a natural match, as the oil’s fruitiness softens its bite. It's also excellent with fish and risotto.

In short, Tuscanini’s new EVOO is a celebration of Sicilian olives, thoughtful production, and pure flavor, an olive oil that’s as enjoyable to taste on its own as it is to cook with.
