Meneghetti Leccino olive oil is produced from the Italian Leccino cultivar, which has excellently adapted to the Istrian climate on the Meneghetti estate, yielding distinguished quality, freshness, and unique attributes. It features a dark green colour, full taste with mild bitterness and piquancy. The oil offers a highly fresh fruity odour and a mild, sweet, rounded taste without any prevailing aroma. It pairs perfectly with light meals.

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.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Bale, Istria County, Croatia, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Leccino as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
