We’re taking you on a little journey to Agrigento, in southern Sicily, where Raffaele has shared a wonderful glimpse into the olive harvest and the production of extra virgin olive oil being produced especially for our restaurant.
Among the trees are two beautiful Sicilian olive varieties, Nocellara and Giarraffa, each with its own characteristics and a connection to the island’s rich agricultural heritage.
From harvesting the olives to watching them undergo the cold extraction process, every stage reflects the care, craftsmanship and respect for ingredients that sit at the heart of Italian cooking.
And we’re incredibly proud that Sapori will be the only restaurant in the UK to receive this particular olive oil.
For Andrea, this is about so much more than sourcing an exceptional ingredient. It’s about maintaining a genuine connection to Italy, the people who grow our produce and the traditions that make Italian food so special.
A huge thank you to Raffaele for sharing this journey with us and for making something so special possible. ❤️
