The olive groves that cover the eastern plains of Sicily are dry and wild.  The Tonda Iblea olives found in these groves are larger than most, and naturally take on the flavors of the sun-drenched tomatoes and other traditional Sicilian produce grown nearby. The olives, and the olive oil, have intense, distinctive aromas.
