LuccaMissionNevadillo Blanco

Made from Leccino, Mission and Nevadillo Blanco olives hand-harvested in Etajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, this extra virgin olive oil shows a clean mos green colour and a fruity aroma with notes of banana, nuts and butter. Cold-pressed the same day within nine hours of picking at 21-24°C, it balances pronounced sweetness with medium bitterness and strong pungency, pairing well with bread, salad, yoghurt and Japanese dishes with umami.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.5
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 5.4
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 5.4
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 6
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.
