Leccino Monovarietal

Chaloner's Leccino is a single-cultivar oil from Stellenbosch. Their catalogue identifies hand-picked olives and cold extraction within 24 hours of harvest, while their flavour notes describe green grass and almond on the aroma, buttery smoothness, mild bitterness and a subtle peppery finish. It's considered perfect for salads, pasta and finishing dishes. The existing product record also notes recognition at the International Olive Council in 2021; that award claim remains tied to the catalogue record rather than expanded here.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.3

Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.

Bitterness 3.5

Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.

Pungency 3.5

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.
