Description
The Extra Virgin Olive Oil Chianti Classico is produced by Rocca di Montegrossi in Gaiole in Chianti, made from olives grown on the Chianti hills, an authentic expression of the region and its local olive oil tradition.
The Correggiolo and Moraiolo olives are handpicked with the aid of shakers before they are fully ripe and pressed on the same day of harvest using a modern nitrogen-protected disc system, with cold processing in stainless steel and subsequent extraction by centrifuge; the oil is then naturally filtered by gravity, without the use of pumps, to preserve its quality and integrity.
It displays a brilliant green color and an intense, fruity aromatic profile characterized by fresh and fragrant sensations, a pleasant spicy note, and hints of artichoke and freshly cut grass, accompanied by slight sweet nuances of apple.
Ideal raw on seafood salads, raw or grilled vegetables, meat-based pasta dishes, grilled white or red meats, and baked fish.
