Civettaio - Civitella Paganico - 19/1/2011
Our new, freshly pressed olive oil is ready ! This year the harvest has been abundant and of the best quality thanks to a not too hot season. In addition to our usual blend of correggiolo, leccino e moraiolo, native cultivar of the Maremma, for the first time we made a monocultivar, always organic, olive oil exclusively with Olivastra Seggianese, a typical cultivar from the nearby Monte Amiata. It came out a very approachable, soft olive oil with a magnificent aroma of freshly cut grass. Perfect on fish , salads, grilled and raw vegetables or as a base for sauce like majonnaise or pesto.
