OLIVE TREES ARE BLOOMING AT BAGLIO SORIA
SPRING BUDS
The olive trees at Baglio Sorìa start wearing the colours of spring in a glorious display of ethereal beauty
In May the olive trees of the Baglio Sorìa estate are covered with small translucent buds in a triumph of natural beauty. Every springtime, a cloud of shining whiteness cloaks the wrenched centennial trees as a symbol of a lush nature.
On the branches dotted with small green beads, the delicate flowers that will later become olives are now blossoming. Only few of this countless flowers, however, will turn into a fruit according to the rules of natural selection, and the fruit will in turn become the Firriato Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
A NEW LEASE OF LIFE FROM FLOWERS
Let nature take its course. It will be the force of the wind, and not the hand of man, driving the process of pollination of our plants.
Pollination happens through anemophily, ie. the action of the wind that blows constantly throughout the year across the Baglio Sorìa estate. The beautiful yet uncospicuous flowers of the olive trees actually are not very fragrant and have little pollen, therefore they do not attract bees and insects, the main architects of pollination of other plants. But it is the action of the wind that once again, just as it has done for many centuries, will allow us to have the new fruits that when ripe will turn into olive oil.
THE FIRRIATO ORGANIC EXTRAVIRGIN OLIVE OIL
The green gold of Sicily
From careful selection of the local Cerasuola and Nocellara varieties comes Firriato’s Certified Organic ExtraVirgin Olive Oil. An oil with a Sicilian soul, with a particularly fragrant and delicate flavour reflecting the kindness of the generous nature of Baglio Sorìa, completely surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. The olive groves are located in the “Valli Trapanesi”
PDO area, the most suited for the production of what is known as the “green gold of Sicily” beacuse of its endless health benefits and organoleptic and qualitative properties. A niche product for a demanding public looking for excellence, identity and nature.
