Meneghetti Leccino is made entirely from Leccino olives grown at Stancija Meneghetti near Bale in Croatian Istria, where the maritime microclimate encourages clear aromatics. The olives are hand harvested in early October and cold extracted within six hours below 28 °C, yielding a deep green oil with notes of green apple, almond and freshly cut grass. On the palate it is smooth and balanced with delicate bitterness and a refined peppery lift, supported by low free acidity.

Oil Character
Sense of place
The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Bale, Istria County, Croatia, giving it a specific farm origin.
Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.
How it was made
The olives are listed as being harvested manually.
These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.
They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.
Single variety listed
The latest release lists Leccino as its only recorded cultivar.
A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.
One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
