Description
TheExtra Virgin Olive Oil Toscano IGP, selected for Bottega Senese, represents the quintessence of local olive growing. It is an oil that comes from the heart of the province of Siena and stands out for its ability to combine the strength of the land with refined elegance.
Description and Features:
-
Type: This is generally a Tuscan IGP oil (or one that conforms to Terre di Siena DOP parameters), which guarantees that the olives come exclusively from the hills surrounding the city of the Palio.
-
Organoleptic Profile:
-
View: Golden green color, clear and bright.
-
Nose: The nose is broad and enveloping; scents of medicinal herbs, artichoke and a hint of fresh almond stand out.
-
Taste: In the mouth it is an oil “with character”. The bitterness and spiciness are well present and persistent (a sign of excellent quality and richness in polyphenols), but are integrated into a silky texture that does not attack the palate.
-
-
Le Cultivar: It is made from the classic Sienese mix: Frantoio (which gives structure), Moraiolo (which gives the spicy, vegetal notes) and Leccino (which softens the blend).
Because it is special:
Bottega Senese ‘s selection aims for a product that is “authentically Sienese”: less edgy than oils from the Florence area or the more extreme Chianti Classico, but much more fragrant and complex than a commercial oil. It is the oil of tradition, the one that is on the table of those who live in Siena and know its true flavors.
Recommended pairings:
It is the ultimate “finishing” oil:
-
Patti Tipici: Fundamental on Pappa al Pomodoro or Ribollita.
-
Meats: Enhance a cut of beef or a pork rotisserie.
-
Daily Use: Perfect simply on Tuscan “sciocco” (salt-free) bread to appreciate its purity.
It is an ideal choice for those who wish to take home a piece of Siena, encapsulated in a product that perfectly balances rustic country and haute cuisine quality.
