THE FACTORY
-Since many generations the Nobile factory works with success in the olive cultivation sector, obtaining guaranteed quality products of certain origins.
-The olive production is obtained with techniques that respect the natural cicles and metabolisms, and that completely exclude the use of chemical products.
-The Oil-Mill rises in the storic center of Rosolini , in the heart of the feudal village where still today survive very well conserved tracks of the ancient rural civility and monuments of great archeologic interests.
-Today is the factory able to conciliate the recent production technologies with the quality judgements that distinguish a biological extra virgin olive oil , by adopting proceedings of controlled quality , hygenically safe, and approved by the most authoritative certification institutes (AMAB).

The highest quality level is reached by taking particular care on the manufacturing.

A) The crop method of the olives:
The crop is strictly hand-made to guarantee a high quality oil, how handed us down by our fathers
B) The olives crop times:
We select only the olives that are gathered before their complete maturation (a very important factor to obtain an extra virgin olive oil of quality and low acidity).
C) The olives transport:
It is also important to transport the olives in special boxes that avoid their heating and fermenting, wich are the reasons of the formation of moulds.
D) The certificated quality of the manufacturing implants:
The Nobile Oil-Mill uses an entire repart exclusively for the manufacturig of the olives that come from certificated biological coltivations.


Extra virgin olive oil Giorgio Nobile

-The final rinsing with clear stream water , the "cold squeezing process" and the separator's carefull cleaning process are determinating factors to obtain an oil with elevated colour, taste and smell features.

"Extra virgin olive oil produced with biological agriculture"

GASTRONOMIC QUALITY
-Our extra virgin olive oil, rich in taste and smell, is able to dress every kind of dish, cooked or not. His merits are far more than the simple pleasure.
-His features are known since many centuries and the dietists of all the world advise it as the best vegetal flavour. The extra virgin olive oil is not only the most digestible among the existing oils, it is even the most rich in nutritive values; we can say that his chemical composition is similar to the chemical composition of milk.
-Recently the olive oil has attracted the attention of dietists and nutritionists from everywhere in the world by qualifying himself as the most important element of the so called "mediterranean diet".It completes a healty alimentation based on bread, pasta, fruit and vegetables and fish wich is able to remove the risks of heart diseases (infarct).
-We reccomend the use of Nobile's extra virgin olive oil not only for crude dishes, where this oil expresses the best of it self, but even in all that cooking applications where long cooking times and fryes request a kind of oil that resists for long at high temperatures.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL'S BIOCHEMICAL SPECIFICATIONS
-Like all the oils, olive oil is part of a large group called fat lipids made up of carbonium, oxygen and hydrogen who unroll in our organism many life-impotrant functions:
.Oils have an energetic function, they are structural components of the cells during the assorbtion of some vitamins(A,D,E,K),they limit the heat dispersion by thermically isolating our body.
-Unlike animal fats, olive oil does not favour the increasing of cholesterine and contains in quantity linoleic, linolenic, palmitic and stearic acids.
-In olive oil, beside fat acids, is even present a small group of substances wich have important features like reducing the formation of free radicals and prevent the intestinal absorption of cholesterine and lowers its levels.
-In the end olive oil influences even positively on the blood pressure and it has been also discovered that it has a protective function against tumors.


OUR ROOTS

-Our story of oil-millers and producers starts in the year 1904
-Since then we covered a long way made of passion, experience and skill, that allows us today to guarantee the absolute quality of our extra virgin olive oil.
-Our olive fields are situated in one of the most celebrated extra virgin olive oil production areas of Sicily, recently recognized as:

D.O.P. AREA MONTI IBLEI (denomination of protected origin).
-D.O.P. MONTI IBLEI

-The denonimation of protected origin indicates an agricultural or alimentary product, originating and produced entierly in a specific area (region, place or town), with particular quality features due to the geografic ambient even including natural and human facts.
-The geografic indication is used to indicate an agricultural or alimentary product, originating in a specific area, of wich a certain feature can be attributed to his geografic origin.
The products with geografic indication have not to be necessarily produced in the indicated area, it is more than enough that they are transformed there.
-The difference between the two indications, denomination of protected origin and geografic indication is the following one:
While for the denomination of protected origin the whole manufacturing process must be made in the denomination area, for the geografic indication it is enough that a part of this manufacturing process is made there, the part of the process that completes the product. So we can, for example use raw materials from different regions.

The Nobile olive oil and the hypogeanic rocky Basilica

In Rosolini the name Nobile is not only bound to the production of high quality olive oil ;often an archeological contest of great importance is associated to this family .
It is a Paleo-Christian Basilica of great storic value.
If we consider the vastity of the dimensions of this structure, the greatest monument of this kind in Sicily, we can say that it is a true archeological pearl.
Many famous and international archeologists like P.Orsi, L.Agnello and A.Messina have studied this hypogeanic monument.In the feudal village, through the 6th century portal, the Basilica is the logo of the label on the oil-bottles, we arrive on the court of Platamone palace .
This portal flanked by the bell tower, belonged to the summer residence of the feudal Lords, who obtained the in 1712 the authorisation to build the town with the bless of the Netine authorities.Now nearly nothing remains of Platamone palace and of the rocky wall.
In the big court in front of the Oil-Mill where this excellent oil is produced and under the bell tower we find the beautiful church of incredible value.Entirely excavated in the rock, the Bizantine Basilica appears to the viewers in her original structure, even in not more intact. Some pre-existent hypogeical funeral structures, excavated in the calcareous rocks, gave origin to the entire 3naves Basilica. We can find some architettonical imperfections
due to the necessity to implant the church on something pre-existent;in the right nave are still conserved some Bizantine elements.The Basilica's 3 naves are delimited by 8 arch spans based on massive squared pillarsthat give majesty to the monument.The central nave ends with a big apse and the last span separes it from the left one by a blind arch. That allows there the isolation of an irregular squared hollow, on its roof there was a canopy straight over a squared funeral monument.
Of this canopy remain a few things, some little archs that delimits a semisferic dome wich has in the center a stone ring .On the left wall, near an ancient celebration monument, we think that people used to lay all the objects used in a religious ritual on a shell.Little shells dislocated with regularity let us think that they have been used as light shelfs .Who built this monument is still a mistery.We suppose that the architettonic oriental influence have been introduced by some monotheistich comunity present on the territory.Whit the came of the Arabians this place was rebuilt.
His Arabian name was "GARU-AS-SALIBIN"or "CAVE OF THE CROSS".With the time this name changed in "Rusalini", the actual pronounce of the growing town.
Today from Rosolini the Nobile oil reaches, very appreciated, the farest destinations.The Basilica, a cultural good, is still conserved only by the Nobile family, like the oil does not belong only to the producers. One has a considerable storic value and therefor appreciated.The Nobile olive oil, healty aliment with special nutritional requests is a good for all.
