Masseria is a single-origin organic extra virgin olive oil pressed from Nocellara Etnea olives grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. It is a small-batch oil, sold in 500 mL light-blocking, air-tight tins that protect freshness better than clear glass. The Nocellara Etnea cultivar is known for a grassy, slightly bitter and peppery profile with high polyphenols, which puts it alongside other premium single-estate Sicilian oils rather than everyday supermarket blends. It suits cooks who use oil raw or at low heat and want a named cultivar and harvest, though shoppers who want a neutral all-purpose frying oil will find it too assertive and too costly per liter.
