Extra virgin olive oil produced from olives hand-picked from the Lunae olive groves, located on the hills of Luni and Castelnuovo Magra, in the far eastern Ligurian region, in full respect of a thousand-year-old tradition, evidenced by the presence of olive presses dating back to Roman times. The cultivars are typical of the area: Razzola, Leccino, and Moraiolo; extraction occurs at low temperatures, using mechanical processes designed to preserve the oil's organoleptic characteristics and primary aromas.
The Olio EVO D'Oro Raccolta Lunae displays an intense golden yellow color with distinct green highlights. It has a fruity, fresh, and light aroma, with distinct notes of apple, almond, and artichoke. It is smooth on the palate, pleasantly spicy, savory, and almost imperceptible in the bitter note. It has a good structure and excellent persistence.
Used raw on a seafood or egg salad, on grilled fish or to make fried shellfish, it is perfect for making mayonnaise or a mortar sauce.
