Apulian Premium Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil Monocultivar Coratina

Discover the extra virgin olive oil obtained exclusively from the “Coratina” cultivar, a unique and precious variety of olives that gives the oil a broad and refined organoleptic profile. Coratina produces an intensely fruity oil with great personality, rich and complex aroma, with typical notes of freshly cut grass, artichoke, and green tomato. It ends with a harmonious sensation of bitterness and inimitable spiciness.

From the moment of olive harvesting, which takes place between October and November, to the crushing in a continuous cold extraction mill (25 °C), only 4 hours pass to ensure the freshness of the product and the preservation of its organoleptic properties.

Very low acidity and high content of polyphenols and tocopherols have placed this oil among the top 25 in the world, and its quality has been repeatedly recognized by international juries, making it a multi-award-winning oil.
