Description

Affiorato is the pressed first olive oil each year...

It also marks our first annual trip to the largest of the Mediterranean islands: Sicily. This pure olive juice, incredibly fresh and authentic, is eagerly awaited each year by connoisseurs.

This new olive oil seduces with its expressive character and its nose evoking a bouquet of herbs straight from the garden; unfiltered, it is the result of exceptional know-how and an early harvest.

The finest green olives are picked by hand and pressed just a few hours after harvesting.

Perfectly balanced, L'Affiorato 2026 reveals intense aromas of cut herbs, enhanced by notes of green almond and Mediterranean herbs.

Once again this year, Oliviers&Co has selected the best Sicilian estate, Oleificio Geraci, to offer gourmets this beautiful vintage made from 100% Nocellara del Belice, the queen of Sicilian olives.

Smooth, round, and generous, without excessive bitterness or pungency, this early harvest olive oil reveals a beautiful length on the palate, carried by a deliciously fresh finish.

Did you know? The legal acidity level for extra virgin olive oil must be below 0.8%. This Grand Cru from Oliviers&Co far exceeds that standard with an exceptionally low level of 0.12%. Our quality standards and traceability ensure a fresher, more aromatic olive oil with preserved nutritional benefits. The polyphenol level at bottling is 358,1 mg/kg.

Affiorato, which literally means “what has risen to the surface,” takes its name from a very ancient production process used in Italy. The oil, which is lighter than water, naturally “floated” to the surface, and the nectar obtained was distinguished by its freshness, vegetal character, and great delicacy.

In order to be available in stores at the end of November, the countdown begins in Sicily in mid-October. To produce this exclusive early harvest olive oil for Oliviers&Co, Massimiliano Geraci, a long-standing partner, has implemented an exceptional selection method. The finest olive groves are carefully selected, and only the healthiest and greenest Nocellara del Belice olives are harvested by hand and pressed immediately after picking. Here, the selection is made before pressing, in order to obtain the crème de la crème of olive oil!

Harvested and pressed in record time, Affiorato is immediately shipped to France to be bottled in Haute-Provence, arriving as quickly as possible on festive tables.

New oil has become trendy, but Oliviers&Co has been offering it for 19 years. Affiorato, created in 2006, remains the brand's iconic best-seller!

OLIVIERS & CO PRODUCER

Massimiliano Geraci

Massimiliano GERACI, Oliviers & Co's long-standing partner in Sicily, has implemented an exceptional selection method to produce the first oil of the year every year: the Affiorato. The most beautiful plots of olive trees are carefully selected and only the healthiest and greenest Nocellara del Belice olives are crushed immediately after harvesting. After a few days of "decanting", the new olive oil is packaged in its pretty traditional can.

The brothers Massimiliano and Lorenzo Geraci are the fourth family generation that deals with olives and extra virgin olive oil... a history written in the trees and the proof is that for each descendant of the family has been planted a tree that has taken the first name. The love for Sicily and for its fruits, has led the Geraci family to focus for several generations on maintaining the ancient traditions. The creation of the company and the construction of a new mill has allowed the Geraci family to carry on the objective of promoting quality, which has brought recognitions and awards at international level.

The olives are picked by hand or with manual tools. They are kept until the crushing stage in a cool and ventilated place, and then pressed within 12 hours of picking.

The extraction of Geraci extra virgin olive oil is done exclusively by mechanical processes with a continuous cold extraction cycle in two phases.

The oil in stored in places where the temperatures are constant and stainless steel tanks under nitrogen atmosphere protect it from the air, slowing down the natural oxidation processes and maintaining the taste for a long time. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
