The extra virgin olive oil with a singular taste.
When we talk about mono-varietal or mono-cultivar extra virgin olive oil, we are referring to a high-quality product obtained from olives grown from a single and specific variety of olive. This term derives from the Greek root “monos”, which means “unique”, and “cultivar”, which refers to the cultivation. In Italy, mono-varietal cultivations represent about 40% of the total production of Italian oil, with about 500 different varieties.
Same variety of olives, but different flavors based on the production area.
The distinctive feature of mono-varietal EVO oil lies in its unmistakable flavor, which comes from olives from plants belonging to the same variety. There is a close correlation between the variety of olive and the soil in which it is grown, which gives each oil a unique personality. This diversity of flavors is what makes mono-varietal oils so valuable and appreciated by connoisseurs around the world. Climatic conditions, soil quality and other environmental factors directly influence the flavor profile and aroma of mono-varietal oil. Therefore, each year mono-varietal oil offers a unique and unrepeatable sensory experience.
Many varieties of olives for an incredible range of mono-varietal oils.
Mono-varietal evo oil can offer a range of complex flavors and aromas, ranging from light and delicate fruitiness to intense and peppery fruitiness, passing through herbaceous, bitter and spicy notes. Each variety of olive has its own unique characteristics, which are reflected in the oil produced. For example, the oil obtained from the “Coratina” variety of olives is known for its intense flavor, with hints of freshly cut grass and pepper, while the oil obtained from the “Leccino” variety of olives has a softer and fruitier flavor, with notes of almonds and green apples.
