Quattrociocchi 1 Olio Novello

This early harvest Novello extra virgin olive oil is produced from locally grown Itrana, Frantoio and Leccino variety olives grown on the Quattrociocchi Estate in Alatri just South of Rome. The oil's aroma is herbaceous and fruity with hints of green olive that is enhanced by complex vegetal notes of freshly cut grass and green tomato, while its flavor is wonderfully fresh and well-balanced with a pleasingly bitter, peppery finish. This oil pairs excellently with starters such as beef carpaccio, marinated tuna and creamed artichokes, as well as swordfish, grilled game, mature cheeses and pasta with sausage.
