ViolaExtra Virgin Olive Oil Colleruita PDO Umbria 500ml

The Extra Virgin Olive Oil Colleruita DOP Umbria Viola is produced from the varieties of olives moraiolo, frantoio and Leccino of the hills of Roviglieto and Scandolaro. These are parsimonious plants in the form and production of the fruit, which is intertwined with the history of the people who keep them between earth and stone up to the harvest. Only a careful selection of the fruit allows to obtain this persistent aromatic charge of green olive; the balance between bitter and spicy characterizes this typical oil of Umbria.

Aroma:

it is complex, rich in vegetal notes of artichoke, almond and mown grass.

Taste:

enveloping and elegant, of great character with tones of thistle, artichoke, black pepper and almond in closing. Bitter and spicy well expressed and balanced.
