Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tuscia D.O.P by Il Molino, Organic, Lazio, 16.9 fl oz, 2024 Crop, 6/CS

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
