For the Fazari family, the name Micu has a high affective value, it is characterising and historical, because it was Domenico Fazari’s name, born in 1906, breeder and farmer, father of 10 children, who in 1940 founded the olive-growing company that in 1992 would later give rise to the Fazari brothers’ Olearia San Giorgio.
To remember him, the family business, starting with the 2017 oil campaign, has dedicated a top-of-the-range oil in an elegant package. It named it MICU 1906, after the family founder and the year he was born, producing a limited edition of 1906 bottles.
MICU 1906 is a medium-fruity blend of 70 per cent ottobratica olives and 30 per cent cassanese olives.
