field houseHakuho (small grains)

The crystal size is approximately 0.2 mm.
It has very fine crystals and a smooth texture.
Because of its fine texture, it blends well with ingredients and enhances the flavor of the dish itself.
We recommend using it in dishes that use oil, such as tempura and deep-fried foods. It enhances the flavor of the ingredients and allows you to enjoy a light, non-greasy meal.
It also pairs well with vegetables, so a simple vegetable salad seasoned with just salt and olive oil is a great choice.

Sicilian olive oil

This olive oil is made using only carefully selected olives and is produced slowly and meticulously, resulting in limited production. However, we were able to source it through our own unique channels.
The quality of olive oil is determined by the quality of the olives, the extraction method, and the storage conditions.
This Sicilian olive oil is made with meticulous attention to every detail.
The raw material used is 100% olives of the native variety called "Tonda Iblea."
Because the oil is extracted without filtering, it contains small pieces of olive pulp and skin, allowing you to enjoy the rich and fresh flavor as is.
During harvesting, everything is done by hand, except for using wooden ladders to work at the top of the trees. By doing it by hand without using tools, we can harvest without causing unnecessary damage or stress to the trees or fruit.
The young olives are picked and transported to a nearby oil mill within eight hours. To preserve the olives' antioxidant properties, the oil is carefully extracted using state-of-the-art equipment and strict temperature control.
Please try it at least once to experience its reliable quality and rich flavor.

The product name "Novello" means "first harvest, new crop."
This is a special olive oil made from fresh, green olives picked during the first three days of the harvest season.
This is a one-time shipment, so if the limited quantity available this time sells out, there will be no further stock until next year.
Take this opportunity to enjoy the fresh flavor that only freshly squeezed juice can offer.

Olive oil (black) "TERRE DI PANTALEO" (250ml)
