Frantoio Grove x Panacea Farms Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This vibrant, robust oil offers tasting notes of fresh herbs, tomato leaf, artichoke, wild grass, fig, woodiness, and a piquant peppery finish, with a deep, expressive profile and harmonious balance. It pairs excellently with grilled meats, hearty salads, or fresh bread.
