Leccino is one of the most widespread olive varieties (cultivars) in Italy. The fruit is oval in shape, and when ripe, it transitions from an intense green to a jet black color.

Our Organic Monocultivar Leccino has been recognized in the 2020 Gambero Rosso’s “OLI D’ITALIA” guide, achieving the prestigious two Red Leaves award for excellence.

Characteristics

The Organic Monocultivar Leccino is a decidedly delicate, fresh, spring-like oil.
Visually, it displays light green tones, while on the nose, two predominant characteristics emerge: a continuous delicacy and a long, pleasant persistence.
On the palate, the bitter notes are barely perceptible, while the spicier ones are more pronounced.

    Tasting Notes

    On the palate, the bitter notes are barely perceptible, while the spicier tones are more present, yet still showcasing a decidedly delicate, fresh, and spring-like oil.

    On the nose, this continuous delicacy should not be confused with persistence, which is very long and pleasant, accompanied by a delicate fruity note.

    These characteristics make this oil perfect for pairing with fish dishes, sweet vegetables such as potatoes and carrots, rabbit meat, and free-range chicken. Additionally, it is excellent for use in children’s nutrition.
