For many years, the agricultural company Bellacera has produced an oil of exceptional and incomparable quality and taste.

The Bellacera family follows the product closely right from the appearance of the first flower buds on the tree to the harvest which is still done by hand. This system, called "Brucatura" allows the olives to remain intact, thus making oils of the best quality.

The work of the company is done in the fertile land of the Belice Valley in the communes of Castelvetrano and Partanna, where the ancient tradition of the cultivation of olives for the production of extra virgin olive oil D.O.P has been passed down through centuries.

During the harvest, the best olives of the "Noccellara del Belice" variety are selected. Once selected, these are put into baskets and taken quickly and carefully to the oil mill in order to avoid a long conservation time which could result in fermentation.

The cleaning of the olives is extremely important as dust, earth or any other impurity (leaves, stones etc) would make the oil dark in colour and bitter in taste.
