Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tuscia D.O.P by Il Molino, Organic, Lazio

Part of Slow Food Presidia (which marks high quality local artisanal products), this D.O.P organic extra virgin olive oil is produced exclusively from 100% Caninese olives,  a variety that grows in the oldest part of the grove, where many trees are centuries old.

The olives are pressed using the farm mill, yielding a prized, delicate and well-balanced oil with a moderately fruity flavor. The greenish-yellow hue opens to the nose with notes of thistle, dried fruit and aromatic herbs. On the palate, the initial sweetness gives way to a subtle bitterness and long notes of white pepper in the finish
