ElOlivo Review:
One of the best monovarietal olive oils made from the Itrana variety. Its aromas are tomato, green banana, artichoke, celery, green apple and green herbs. For us the aroma of fresh basil is distinguished. At tasting the fruitiness is outstanding with medium to high bitterness and medium spiciness. This oil is perfectly balanced with notes of green almond at the end. What can we say? This oil is perfect and we love it. If somebody asks us what a perfect Itrana olive oil tastes like, we would give them a bottle of Quattroqiocchi Olivastro. We use it only raw. We drizzle it on our roast potatoes, steaks, and pasta. The list is endless. Simply amazing taste.
