Oliva Grossa is an extra virgin olive oil produced from the Oliva Grossa variety, originally from Puglia but cultivated in the Abruzzo region, in the town of Vasto. This oil is monovarietal, meaning it is made exclusively from a single olive variety, preserving the specific character and quality of the fruit.
The oil features an intense golden-yellow color with greenish hues. Its aromatic profile includes notes of fresh legumes, such as peas and beans, with subtle hints of fresh banana and aromatic herbs.
On the palate, it is rich and harmonious, with pronounced spiciness and mild bitterness, making it ideal for use in salads, vegetable dishes, fresh bread, roasted fish, and white meat.
