Superior-category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical processes. This extra virgin olive oil from Contarina is a premium product. Produced in the olive groves in 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 and ideal for oil production: a substrate of marl and sandstone, unspoiled nature, an enclosed valley that keeps temperatures always controlled throughout the year with excellent temperature swings especially during the fruit ripening period. This type of oil is called Francesco and is made mainly from Grignano variety olives and a small percentage of Maurino variety olives (10-20%). This oil has an emerald green color, with a medium fruity aroma and a taste of rocket and bitter herbs, wild flowers with a slight citrus aroma. Persistent and harmonious, it has a slight bitterness that fades over time.
