100% Ogliarola from a special early harvest of top olives. Age of trees is unknown, but ranges from 120 to over 200 years old. So delicious and so green! A very strong oil but has some softer notes than the Torre di Mossa. An incredible olive oil for all uses in the kitchen if you crave the green intensity.
Flavors of green olives, apple, lettuce and sage. Black pepper is present but moderate, spiciness is moderate plus. One of our favorite oils of the year.
The family has produced olive oil since the 1600s but in the 1970s Saverio De Carlo blazed a path to quality that no one else was willing to take. The result of his work is evident in the family’s success as the estate has grown into, hands down, one of the world’s greatest producers of olive oil. In our office we refer to them among ourselves as simply, “the world’s greatest”.
