Tasting notes
An extra virgin olive oil with an intense green fruitiness that combines vegetable notes with a notable balsamic flavour underscored by velvety notes of ripe, tropical fruit. Initally bitter and slightly spicy with a marked astringency, giving way to a lasting fresh, light and enveloping palate that ends on a tantalizingly sweet note.
