Experts have described Ravida's Extra Virgin Olive Oil as tasting of freshly mown meadow hay - herbal and intensely grassy. The Olive Oil Companion says Ravida's aftertaste is so smooth and reminds one of sweet/sour sorrel leaves. Regardless of the source, this is a singular taste, unique even to Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oils. Ravida blends three local olive varieties picked from their 300 year-old trees - Nocellara, a slightly fruity eating olive, Carasuola, tasty and full-bodied and light green, Brancolilla for distinctive color and fragrance. Additionally, unfiltered Ravida's acidity level is an astonishing .010 - 0ne-tenth of 1%. The Ravida family, Sicilian since the 1300's, uses their oil for everything from cooking meat and fish, seasoning vegetables, salads, risotto and pasta.
