Al Torcio Ascolana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a monovarietal oil from the Ascolana olive, presenting as very clear with intense golden yellow colour and greenish tones. Its aroma features pronounced fruity notes of medium-ripe tomato, radish and ripe apple, alongside notes of aromatic herbs reminiscent of sage, mint and oregano. The taste is strong and full-bodied, with fruity and vegetable tones, bitterness and harmonious spiciness. It pairs with crayfish marinades, seafood appetisers, chestnut cream soup, vegetable pasta, light fish soups, tartare and fresh soft cheeses such as mozzarella.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 6
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 3
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 3
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 4
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm.

Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Ascolano as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
