Olive oil has long been known for its impressive health benefits. It's packed with antioxidants, polyphenols and healthy monounsaturated fats that help reduce inflammation and protect the heart.

Pietradolce
Mount Etna is the highest and most active volcano in Europe. The terrain is so unique that the Sicilians have ignored the inevitable risks and planted vineyards and orchards all over the slopes. Thanks to Mount Etna, the soil contains an abundance of minerals, the nights are cool, the days are warm and the wide temperature variations give the wine exceptional richness, aroma and depth. Pietradolce (translated as Sweet Stone) is located in Solicchiata, part of the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. The vineyards are 11 hectares, divided into three plots, and the altitude is significant, from 650 to 900 meters. The wine cellar itself is young - founded in 2005, as well as its owners - the Michele brothers & amp; Mario Faro. Not surprisingly, Faro's philosophy is absolute respect for the terrain - & quot; our volcano & quot ;, as they call Etna, the local and ancient varieties Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and traditional cultivation methods. Pietradolce's boutique products (an average of 35,000 bottles per year) are environmentally friendly and authentic. It is the & quot; i vini dell'Etna & quot ;, the purest and most complete expression of this ancient volcano of very old vines, some of which are between 80 and 120 years old.
