Basiricò Cantu d'Amuri — I.G.P. Sicilia Extra Virgin Olive Oil 750ml (Unfiltered, Cold Extracted)

A Sicilian EVOO Carrying the Name of a Song — and the Soul of the Island

Cantu d'amuri — "song of love" in Sicilian dialect. That's what Pietro Basiricò calls this oil, and once you taste it, the name makes sense. This is an I.G.P. Sicilia oil from the province of Trapani, cold extracted and unfiltered — meaning all the flavor, body, and character that would normally be stripped out in the filtering process stays right in the bottle.

I.G.P. Sicilia certification means this oil has been verified by an authorized control body and meets strict standards for origin and quality. It's not just a label — it's a guarantee of where this oil came from and how it was made.

The Producer

Pietro Basiricò farms in the hills of Paceco, in the province of Trapani — one of Sicily's most storied olive-growing territories.

Cantu d'amuri is their flagship expression: unfiltered, cold extracted, and made to be used generously.

Tasting Notes

🫒 Olive Fruit | 🌶 Peppery Finish | 🍊 Citrus

The unfiltered style gives this oil extra body and a slightly cloudy appearance — which translates directly into more flavor density per drop. Cold extraction preserves the delicate aromatics that more aggressive processing would strip away. Expect a medium-intensity, well-balanced oil with a clean finish and a gentle pepper note at the end. The I.G.P. certification ensures you're tasting a verified Sicilian product, not a blend.

How to Use It

• Dipping: Good bread, a pinch of Sicilian sea salt, this oil. This is the oil to use for this.
• Bruschetta: The unfiltered body holds up to chunky tomato and basil without disappearing.
• Pasta: A finishing oil for pasta con aglio e olio, or any dish where you'd want the oil's character to come through.
• Grilled Vegetables: Drizzle over grilled artichokes, zucchini, or peppers as a finishing step.
• Daily Cooking: Replaces refined oils in any context where real olive flavor matters.

On I.G.P. Sicilia

I.G.P. (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) certification is your assurance that the olives were grown and the oil was pressed and bottled in Sicily, under the control of an authorized certification body. It's the Sicily guarantee — not just in name, but in practice. If you're going to pay for Sicilian olive oil, I.G.P. is what you want to see on the label.
