Unfiltered Nocellara Messinese EVO Oil 16.9 Oz

The Nocellara Messinese olive is a prized Sicilian cultivar, deeply rooted in the island’s agricultural heritage. Grown under the warm Sicilian sun and gently cooled by Tyrrhenian Sea breezes, these olives develop a uniquely rich and balanced flavor, reflecting the authenticity of Sicilian terroir in every drop.

100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cold Pressed

Naturally green, flavorful, and buttery, this high-quality Sicilian olive oil pairs beautifully with soups, fish, salads, and pasta. Thanks to its low acidity, it also has a higher smoke point than many other olive oils, making it an excellent choice for sautéing and frying.

TUSSI's origins trace back to 1916 when Salvatore Pricone and his family settled in Giannavì, a small village in southeastern Sicily. The name Giannavì translates to "place of water" and "paradise," reflecting its abundant well and fertile farmlands. The Pricone family cultivated local olive trees on these hillsides until World War II forced their relocation. Giannavì embodies the unique cultural blend that defines Sicily, and TUSSI's olive oil honors this rich heritage.

In 2023, after years of sharing their olive oil with friends and family, the Pricone family made their product available for purchase in the United States. They proudly offer "Sicily in a bottle," the same olive oil that has graced their kitchen table for generations.
