It is a variety that comes from the Italian region of Tuscany. The cultivation of this variety is not very widespread in our country.
The olive is oval, resembling a drop, with a medium size (approx. 3 gr), and an 85% pulp/seed ratio, which provides an interesting fat yield (around 20%). The olive tree is medium-large in size, open in shape and well adapted to areas with cold climates.
It is a very fresh olive oil, with an initial intense green colour and outstanding vegetal notes in its aroma and flavour, intensely fruity with hints of grass, artichoke and green almond. As for its tasting, at first it is appreciated as a fine, creamy and velvety oil, sweet that evolves to soft spicy tones in the throat.
Ideal olive oil for raw consumption, for dressing salads, potatoes and pasta. It also goes very well with steamed white fish or marinated blue fish recipes.
