Leccino Monovarietal

Organic

Villa Eva Leccino extra virgin olive oil is produced from pure organic Leccino olives, an early variety known for both oil and table use. Harvested by hand in mid-October from groves in Goriška Brda, Kozana, on opoka terrain of marl, sandstone and limestone layers. Cold extracted below 22°C in two phases, yielding 1 litre of oil per 12-13 kg of olives. It has a gold-green colour, slightly fruity aroma with notes of citrus and green apples, and a mild, balanced taste that is vaguely bitter with discreet sharpness, plus bitter, astringent, spicy and sweet notes. Gentle flavour of green olive fruits and citrus, with scent of aromatic herbs; suits fish appetizers.
