This oil made unique by its perfect taste (yielded by perfectly ripe olives, and light bitter notes, due to the intensity of the fruity tatse revealed), colour (golden yellow with green tints) and overall bouquet, so much so that many taster who still come to the various production areas of italy to buy oil for their companies.
