Description
Terre di Siena DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil, selected by La Bottega Senese, is a product that embodies the excellence of the Sienese territory, following the strict standards of the DOP protection specification.
Main features:
-
Certification: DOP Terre di Siena. This guarantees that the olives come exclusively from the province of Siena and that processing takes place on site.
-
Olive Varieties (Cultivar): A typical blend consisting of at least two of Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino (which must account for at least 85 percent of the total).
-
Sensory Profile:
-
Color: Goes from emerald green to golden yellow as the months go by.
-
Nose: A medium fruitiness, fresh, with hints reminiscent of artichoke, green almond and delicate herbaceous notes.
-
Palate: It is characterized by a perfect balance. The bitterness and spiciness are present but very harmonious, making it a “round” oil and less aggressive in the throat than Chianti Classico products.
-
-
Processing: Early manual or mechanical harvesting and immediate cold pressing to preserve polyphenols.
Recommended pairings from the “Bottega”:
As an oil of great balance, it is considered extremely versatile:
-
Typical Dishes: Ideal on Panzanella, Ribollita or the classic Pappa al pomodoro.
-
Meats and Fish: Excellent on grilled white meats and meat carpaccio, but also on roasted fish where too strong an oil would cover the flavor.
-
Vegetables: Perfect for pinzimonio or to season boiled legumes (cannellini beans or chickpeas).
In short, it is the perfect oil for those seeking the certified quality and authentic taste of Siena in a slightly “gentler” and versatile version for everyday use in the kitchen.
