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 reported phenolic profile. Perfect for sautéing vegetables, baking, or as a versatile table oil. The EVOO highlights the mild, approachable character of the Leccino cultivar.

Sensory Profile & Character

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.

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Rangitikei, North Island, New Zealand.

Why choose it

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

Worth knowing

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.
