Monti Iblei DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Masserie dell'Altopiano (750 ml)
Live an authentic taste experience with the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Monti Iblei DOP "Masserie dell'Altopiano" signed Oleificio Barbera. The olives, harvested strictly by hand between October and November, grow on the sunny slopes of the Hyblean Plateau, where the microclimate and limestone soils give the fruit a unique aromatic profile. Each drop is the result of a cold pressing process within 24 hours of harvesting, to preserve the fruit's aromas and valuable natural antioxidants intact.
This extra virgin oil, emerald green in color with golden highlights, is distinguished by a balance of fruity notes, an herbaceous aftertaste and a pleasant hint of spiciness. Thanks to its acidity of less than 0.3 percent and high polyphenol content, it is an ally of cardiovascular health and a mainstay of the Mediterranean diet.
