It is a product designed for those looking to incorporate a quality EVOO into their daily cooking in a larger format.
The production process pays special attention to the condition of the olives and their handling after harvesting. The goal is to preserve the freshness of the fruit and obtain a clean, aromatic oil with a balanced profile, suitable for regular use in a wide variety of preparations.
On the nose, it shows fresh and vegetal sensations, with hints of green olive, grass, and tomato, along with light fruity notes that add complexity.
