Here is why we call it URRAH



There is an island far away, sometimes it is too far away...


...Where the sun shines 340 days a year...


...If you close your eyes you can't escape the blue of the sky and the sea...


...And the land is so bountiful, you drop a seed and the best produce crop up, while the weeds wilt - they feel ashamed of their meanness...


There is where Urrah comes from: a contrada (a division of a municipality) just west of the town of Menfi. It is a magnificent rural strip that covers about 3km from the sea inwards, and has the funny guttural name of Gurra, contrada di Gurra.

No one would really know this, if the local wine cooperative Settesoli hadn't called the locally produced Sauvignon Blanc Urra di mare. And, oh man, it's an excellent wine...


Now, I am not sure if we were inspired to call our oil Urrah under the influence of Urra, but our name is nonetheless an homage to this wine and of course to the land, the gurra that produces it.

New Year, New Organic Oil

Happy New Year to everyone, may 2016 bring you joy, health and love, but most of all, EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL!

The new batch of 2015 Urrah oil has arrived yesterday, slightly later than usual, just in time for New Year wishes.

With its bright green colour, a bouquet of cut grass and artichoke and a peppery after taste Urrah is extremely versatile and can be used on all your favorite dishes (grilled, steamed and raw foods), but not for deep/stir frying.

2015 has been a bumper year for olive oil. The harvest started around mid October, ensuring protection against the threat of the oil fly. The acidity levels were at the lowest recorded (less than 0,2%) making our olive oil super extra virgin!

This January the farm has achieved the organic certification after two years of checks and hard work. Urrah oil is farmed following strict European standards: our olives are harvested manually and cold milled within 15 hours from harvest to ensure the taste is preserved intact.

Although we have obtained certification of organic farming our prices haven't changed this year. So, you can enjoy Urrah in tins of 1L for the price of £12 and 3L for the price of £33.
Payments on collection or delivery only.


We hope you enjoy the full flavour that Urrah brings to your table!
