AMETHYST
Extra virgin olive oil
The Leccino olive is small and already turns black in October. It can be found in every Italian olive grove and is the very expression of the Italian passion for olive growing. When cultivated here, in Italy's northernmost olive-growing region, it develops a special mildness and light sweetness. Thus, we are able to produce a unique, high-quality interpretation of this most typical Italian olive oil.
