Colline Sul Mare, Ligurian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 250ml

Authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Liguria. Single Variety, 100% Taggiasca Colline sul Mare, Hills by the Sea, takes its name from olive groves perched four hundred metres above sea level in the Province of Imperia, Liguria. Cold-pressed from 100% Taggiasca olives, this classic Ligurian extra virgin olive oil reveals a golden hue, delicate fruit aromas, and a smooth, sweet palate with hints of almond and pine nut. The oil is wrapped in foil, as per Ligurian tradition. This was initially to protect the oil from light sources, to maintain quality of oil. Ligurian oils are often light, fruity and delicate — the foils helps maintain these profiles. Since then it has stuck as tradition. Use raw, an excellent partner for fish, pasta, vegetable salads and sauces
