Superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means. This Olio Extravergine di Oliva from Contarina is a premium product. Produced in the olive groves of Valle di Mezzane, in the municipalities of Mezzane di Sotto and Illasi, on the eastern hills of the province of Verona. This valley is a particularly unique climatic treasure ideal for oil production: a marl and sandstone substrate, unspoiled nature, a closed valley that maintains consistently controlled temperatures throughout the year with excellent thermal variations especially during the fruit ripening period. This type of oil is called Francesco and is mainly composed of Grignano variety olives and a small percentage of Maurino variety (10-20%). The oil has an emerald green color, a medium fruity scent, and a flavor of arugula and slightly bitter herbs, wildflowers with a light citrus aroma. Persistent and harmonious, it has a slight bitterness that fades over time.
