Extra virgin olive oil of superior category obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means. La Contarina is a small but prestigious mill located in an ancient stone farmhouse dating back to the 1700s, on the Veronese hills bordering the Valle di Mezzane and the Valle di Illasi. The Valle di Mezzane is a particularly unique climatic treasure, ideal for producing extra virgin olive oil. It features a marl and sandstone substrate, unspoiled nature, absence of any invasive urban settlements, and a closed valley shape that maintains consistently controlled temperatures throughout the year with excellent thermal variations especially during the fruit ripening period. This Olio EVO DOP Veneto Valpolicella Slow Food is an exciting oil. It presents an emerald green color, with a medium fruity aroma, offering a pleasant sensation of green grass and tomato leaf. The flavor is harmonious, very balanced, and complex, reminiscent of aromatic herbs and wild rocket, bitter herbs, and wildflowers such as dandelion or hawthorn. It is spicy and persistent in fruitiness, leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness and cleanliness on the palate, accompanied by an elegant harmony of flavors.
