OLIVE OIL - ISTRSKA BELICA

This is a very special olive oil. Is made only of one type of olive tree and this is "bianchera"

- Taste and Aromatic Profile
Bitterness and Spicyness:

Olive oil is distinctly bitter and spicy, which is a result of its high polyphenol content.
The spiciness is felt as a slight burning sensation in the throat, which is typical of fresh, high-quality olive oils.

Aromas:
Herbal and grassy notes are characteristic, such as the aroma of freshly cut grass, artichokes, green almonds and tomato leaves.
More subtle notes of green apple or nuts may also be present.

- Polyphenol Content
High polyphenol content:
Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that contribute to the stability of the oil and its medicinal properties.
This makes olive oil long-lasting and extremely healthy.

- Color
Green to green-golden:
The color of the oil depends on the degree of ripeness of the olives at the time of harvest, but is often intensely green.
