Querciamatta Italian Organic Olive Oil-Il Leccino

This is for 2-500ml bottles of Il Leccino Extra Virgin Organic Italian Olive Oil.

The Il Leccino (the Bad Boy) Extra Virgin Organic Italian Olive Oil is harvested early, in the first days of October, which brings out the intense and decisive side of its character. Here is the Leccino you don't expect. It is  cold-pressed on the same day the olives are harvested and filtered naturally. To prevent oxidation, it rests in steel vats together with inert argon gas. 

Extra Virgin Italian Olive Oil-Il Leccino has a fresh almond aroma with light hints of green vegetables and spices. It is smooth and clean on the palate, with a pleasant bitter note and a lingering spiciness. Il Leccino is  powerful and seductive, while maintaining it's Tuscan character. Its color is bright green. 

Early olive harvesting shapes its character; making it an organic olive oil  you don't expect. Il Leccino is the first Monocultivar Querciamatta extra virgin olive oil. It has a strong personality, versatile and balanced.

It can used both raw and cooked, and why not, even on ice cream!
