Leccino Monovarietal

Leccino oil presents a smooth, buttery texture with subtle notes of apple, almond, and a mild peppery aftertaste. Harvested from Leccino olives at optimal maturity, the oil is cold pressed to retain its gentle fruitiness and antioxidant profile. Perfect for sautéing vegetables, baking, or as a versatile table oil. The EVOO highlights the mild, approachable character of the Leccino cultivar.
