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.

Oil Character
Sense of place
This oil is listed as originating in Croatian Istria, Istria County, Croatia.
Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.
How it was made
The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm.
These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.
They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.
Single variety listed
The latest release lists Ascolano as its only recorded cultivar.
A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.
One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
