Ottobratico Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 750 ml

The Ottobratico Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Olearia San Giorgio is produced from by hand-picked and cold-pressed Ottobratica olives from their olive groves in the southern region of Calabria. The aroma has a persistent fruitiness with strong notes of fresh grass, hints of thistle, ripe golden apple and delicate undergrowth tones. On the palate, the extra virgin olive oil is well balanced with light tones of bitterness and more pronounced spicy notes. It closes with a hint of field grass vegetables.

Olive Varieties: 100% Ottobratica (monocultivar). This olive tree is a Slow Food Presidia.

Pairing ideas: Bread, salad, grilled meats, seafood and legumes.
