Its aroma reveals fruity hints of grass and artichoke, while its enveloping taste showcases a fine balance of subtle bitterness with a sharp, lingering spiciness. With a medium yet assertive fruity character, characteristic of this variety, it presents an aromatic profile abundant in fresh olive tones and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is accompanied by prolonged and persistent notes of artichoke and rocket. The bitter and spicy sensations, while robust, are finely tuned and well-proportioned.

This olive oil, exclusively crafted from Moraiolo olives, is truly exceptional! From the moment we sampled it, its rich flavor left us astounded. It boasts subtle and harmonious aromas of Mediterranean vegetables, olives, with just a hint of fresh herbs. Upon tasting, it surprised us with its complexity. Initially, it presents a burst of artichoke and arugula on the palate, followed by a robust kick of piquant and peppery notes. It's a genuine pleasure to savor. And if you're feeling adventurous, it's worth a try! Not suited for the faint-hearted, but a must for culinary enthusiasts seeking excitement.
