Only from olives harvested by hand from our lands with black lava rock. We have named this oil PietreNere, meaning “black rocks” as it comes from volcanic regions where the black rocks appear throughout the red ground. It has strong notes of green tomato and freshly cut grass. The taste is refine and harmonious, yet there remains a persistent bitterness. It leaves an aftertaste that is fresh and pleasantly spicy. An oil for “meditation” that transforms a plate of boiled or steamed vegetables into a dish to remember. Ideal with bruschetta, while pleasantly contrasting the sweetness of shellfish.
