PERIDOT
Extra virgin olive oil
Even here, in the region where it originates, the Grignano olive is rarely cultivated. On its trees grow a few large and globular olives, which do not turn completely black even when fully ripe. Nevertheless, the Grignano olive gives us an oil that is memorable for its balance and surprising pungency.
