DO YOU KNOW WHAT LECCINO IS?

The Leccino is a variety of olive tree which is deemed to be very beautiful from an aesthetic point of view. With its pendulous branches it resembles in many ways to a weeping willow.

Widespread in Italy, it is believed to have originated in central Italy.

When the olives are harvested early, we obtain a high quality extra virgin olive oil with very fragrant, fresh and fruity bouquet. With a later harvest the oil is less bold but much sweeter and well rounded.

In some harvests the Leccino’s flavour is also characterized by the presence of aromatic herbs, almond and bitter nuances.

The Leccino is golden in colour with intriguing hues of green.

Perfect with risotto, fish and white meats.
