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.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 2
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 2
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 3
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.
