Veneto Valpolicella Slow Food DOP EVO Oil 500ml

Superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and exclusively through mechanical processes.

La Contarina is a small but prestigious oil mill located in an ancient stone farmhouse dating back to the 1700s, on the hills of Verona that border the Valle di Mezzane and Illasi. The Valle di Mezzane, in particular, is a uniquely climatic treasure ideal for the production of EVO oil. A substrate of marl and sandstones, an unspoiled nature, the absence of any invasive urban settlement, and a closed valley shape that maintains controlled temperatures throughout the year with excellent thermal swings, especially during the fruit ripening period.


DOP Valpolicella Slow Food Extra Virgin Oil: characteristics


This EVO DOP Veneto Valpolicella Slow Food Oil is an exciting oil. It presents a green emerald color, with a medium fruity aroma, and a pleasant sensation of green grass and tomato leaf. The harmonious taste, very balanced and complex, recalls aromatic herbs and wild arugula, slightly bitter herbs, and field flowers, such as dandelion or hawthorn. Pungent and persistent in fruity notes, it leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness and cleanliness on the palate, accompanied by an elegant harmony of flavors. Cultivar: Grignano, Favarol/Perlarol, Leccino, and Trepp. Acidity 0.12 - Peroxides 6.0 - Polyphenols 400 - Oleic Acid 75.50 - Ethyl Esters 1.50/2.0.
