Region of Origin: Umbria Altitude: 250-300 metres above sea level Olive varieties: Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo
Harvesting system: mechanical Extraction system: cold continuous-cycle Bouquet: persistently fruity, decisive olive scent with grassy hints Colour: brilliant green with golden reflections
Flavour: slightly bitter, with medium spiciness, ample and intense Density: medium fluidity Food pairings: an exquisite condiment to use raw on bread, vegetable soups, steamed dishes, salads and legumes, it is also ideal for cooking and frying since it is more stable at high temperatures and therefore more digestible than seed oils
Focus: “Cantico” oil differs from our DOP olive oil only in the harvesting period, in early November, while the DOP is harvested in the second half of October. The olive groves are located within our Torgiano and Montefalco estates
Anecdotes: “Cantico” is a brand that immediately recalls the Umbrian land, which inspired Saint Francis to compose the “Canticle of the Creatures” and whose landscape is still characterized by hillsides alternating vineyards and olive groves Format: 750 ml bottle
