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.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 6
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 4
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4
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.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Goriška Brda, Gorizia, Slovenia, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

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

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originGoriška Brda, Gorizia, SloveniaSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationHand picked
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.

Release dataLeccino
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
