Tonda Iblea Olive Pestato
This pestato is made from prized Tonda Iblea olives hand-picked in our organic groves on the hills of Ragusa, the heart of the Iblean lands between countryside and sea. Cold artisan processing with our extra virgin olive oil preserves the full character of the indigenous cultivar, yielding a deeply coloured spread with a complex aromatic profile. On the palate, notes of artichoke, green almond and a balanced bitterness that finishes with a subtle pepperiness. Perfect for rustic bruschetta, dressing fresh pasta or as an accompaniment sauce for grilled meats and baked fish. The single Tonda Iblea cultivar and our fully estate-controlled supply chain make this pestato unique and impossible to replicate industrially.

Bruschetta with Tonda Iblea pestato and cherry tomatoes
Toast slices of semolina bread, spread generously with the Tonda Iblea olive pestato and top with halved cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of our extra virgin olive oil. The intensity of the Tonda Iblea pairs perfectly with the sweetness of Sicilian cherry tomatoes.
Beef tagliata with Tonda Iblea pestato sauce
Grill a beef tagliata rare and serve sliced on a bed of wild rocket. Prepare a sauce by mixing the Tonda Iblea pestato with lemon juice and our extra virgin olive oil. The bold bitterness of the olive balances the juiciness of the meat, creating a main course full of character.
