STRONG FRUITY FLAVOUR
The GRADASSI DOP Umbra Colli Assisi Spoleto single estate extra virgin olive oil is carefully selected by Carlo Gradassi, following a centuries old family tradition. The olives of Moraiolo (no less than 60%) Frantoio, Leccino and other varieties, are hand picked on the sun baked rocky terrains of the family’s farm situated between the medieval hilltop towns of Trevi and Campello sul Clitunno in the region of Umbria, known as the Green Heart of Italy, and rapidly cold extracted.
This extra virgin olive oil, rich in natural vitamins is a fundamental ingredient of the Mediterranean diet and it is particularly suited to dress roasted red meats vegetable soups as well as bruschetta.
