Chiavalon Atilio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Chiavalon's Atilio blends Crnica and Istarska Bjelica olives grown near Vodnjan in Istria at 80 to 180 metres altitude. The fruit is harvested in October by hand and pneumatic shakers, then cold extracted within hours at under 24°C in a two-phase continuous system. The oil shows a golden green colour with pronounced aromas of artichoke, chicory, rosemary and mint, followed by a strong palate of black pepper and almond, marked bitterness and a peppery finish.
