Description
This Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Contarina is a premium product. A truly exciting oil, intentionally presented with a beautiful label to highlight the intrinsic quality value of the product. Produced in the olive groves in Valle di Mezzane, in the municipalities of Mezzane di Sotto and Illasi, on the eastern hills of the province of Verona. This valley is a particularly unique climatic treasure, ideal for oil production: a substrate of marl and sandstone, pristine nature, a closed valley that maintains consistently controlled temperatures throughout the year with excellent thermal variations, especially during the fruit ripening period. This type of oil is called Francesco and is composed predominantly of Grignano variety olives and a small percentage of Maurino variety (10-20%). This oil is emerald green in color, with a medium fruity scent and a taste of arugula and bitter herbs, field flowers with a slight citrus aroma. Persistent and harmonious, it has a slight bitterness that fades over time.
