Timor Extra Virgin Olive Oil derives from organic olives in Slovenian Istria, certified in 2022 (BV-SVN-EKO-131). It features primarily Belica, Leccino, Leccio del Corne, Itrano, and other varieties. Belica, an autochthonous Istrian type with high polyphenol content, imparts robust, fresh fruity aromas and pronounced spiciness. Leccino provides milder taste and gentler aroma. The oil exhibits fresh, fruity character with prominent bitterness and spiciness of medium intensity, balanced by sweet almond notes. Aromas recall olive fruit, apple, and fresh grass.
