Al Torcio Pendolino Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Price per litre

Extra virgin olive oil from the Pendolino olive variety. Light green to golden yellow in colour, with a strong fruity aroma of almonds, freshly mown clover and artichoke, alongside a refined almond note. Harmonious, light and fresh profile, featuring very mild bitterness and pungency. The Pendolino variety serves primarily as a pollinator in olive groves and yields modestly but resists most diseases and pests, resulting in high-quality fruit. Pairs with creamy soups and enhances the flavour of game meat, beefsteak and rumpsteak.
