CULTIVAR:

Gentile Chieti , Leccino, Frantoio, Bella di Cerignola

HARVESTING: 

This takes place at the beginning/middle of October. We are waiting for the best time, depending on the year’s weather conditions. We do this with care and attention, and the olives are immediately cleaned, separated from the leaves, and selected to eliminate those that are not considered suitable. From this process, we obtain a harmonious and balanced oil, respecting the temperature of the paste during milling, which never exceeds 27°C (cold extraction). The kneading process takes an average of 35-40 minutes.

STORAGE: 

Gourmet’s extra virgin olive oil rests in small steel tanks under inert nitrogen gas, preventing oxidation processes. 

APPEARANCE: 

Green/golden in colour; on the nose: medium intensity herbaceous fruitiness with hints of flowers, almond and artichoke; on the palate: fruity, herbaceous with notes of green almond, apple and artichoke. Presence of bitterness and spiciness combination. The harmonious and pleasant flavour of grass, pepper, broad beans, artichoke, and green apple stand out.
