L’Arte dell’Extra vergine is how the owners of Carapelli describe their heritage. Only carefully selected olives are used, thanks to their love for the land and respect for the region. The arbequina, hojiblanca, koroneiki, and picual olives give this oil a hint of apple and artichoke, with a fresh, bitter, nutty flavor.
Italian olive oil
Italy has a great diversity of olive varieties. Frantoio (intensely fruity olive and moderately bitter), leccino (medium fruity olive with a slight bitterness), ogliarola (juicy green olives, slightly salty), and taggiasca (small dark olive with a soft, fleshy texture and a slightly sour note) are some examples.
