Always a favorite, Biancolilla is an intense fruity oil, opening with fresh green notes of artichoke leaves, sage, nettle and white pepper. A monocultivar crafted from Biancolilla olives that are harvested and crushed beginning in late September.
This year's selection is medium fruity (last year's was lightly fruity). To the nose it is complex and balsamic with sensory notes of green apple and aromatic herbs. In the mouth, it is bitter with a spicy sensation -- very persistent spicy notes.
Antonella recommends her Biancolilla selection over fish: raw tuna crudo, poached fish, and grilled fish of all kinds. It also makes a beautiful base for fresh herb-based sauces like pesto and salsa verde. For those with a sweet tooth, Biancolilla is amazing in the preparation of desserts, especially ice cream!
This oil has very special handling. After picking, the very green olives are placed in a cold room to reduce their temperature before pressing, and then pressed within six hours.
