OLIVE OIL - COUVE

This olive oil is known as the best mix between spiciness and tenderness. Is a mix of 3 different types of olives. Here we find a typical olive known as "Leccino" and "Maurino". Another type in here is an istrian type of olive tree known as "bianchera".

The blend of olive oil from the belica, leccino and maurino varieties combines the characteristic properties of these three olive varieties, giving the oil a balanced and rich flavor profile. Each variety contributes its own specificities, which is why such an oil is highly valued, especially in cuisine, where harmony of aromas and flavors is sought.
