Sicilian Olive Oil Heritage from the Monti Iblei

Tenuta Chiaramonte is located in Chiaramonte Gulfi, in the province of Ragusa, an area often described as the “balcony of Sicily.”
This region has long been recognised as one of the most important olive-growing zones in southern Italy.

The Monti Iblei landscape offers:

• Natural altitude variation
• Beneficial temperature shifts
• Calcareous soil rich in minerals

These conditions play a crucial role in shaping olive oils that are aromatic, structured, and well balanced.

Estate-Focused Production with Full Control

Tenuta Chiaramonte approaches olive oil production with the mindset of a fine estate producer.

Their focus is on:

• Estate-grown olives only
• Careful pruning and cultivation
• Harvesting at optimal ripeness
• Immediate processing to preserve freshness

Rather than chasing volume, the priority is clarity of flavour and consistency of quality. Olives are pressed quickly using controlled, low-temperature extraction to protect aromas, polyphenols, and nutritional value.

What Makes Tenuta Chiaramonte Olive Oils Distinctive

Tenuta Chiaramonte stands out through precision and restraint.

Key characteristics include:

• Single-estate production with full traceability
• Use of native Sicilian cultivars, including Tonda Iblea
• Fresh, clean flavour profiles with no defects
• Balanced bitterness and pungency
• Elegant structure rather than overpowering intensity

Their oils are known for notes of green tomato, fresh herbs, and cut grass, finishing with a clean, peppery touch.
