CUORI Collection - Cima di Melfi - 500 ml

Cima di Melfi – Single-Variety Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cima di Melfi is an exceptionally rare olive variety, growing in the Gioia del Colle region and in the Melfi area in Basilicata, from which it takes its name. Its extraordinary qualities are still little known, making producers especially proud of this sophisticated and rare oil.

Its elegant and complex bouquet pairs with various flavor nuances: unexpected notes of apple and mint, a strong bitterness that almost overpowers the spiciness typical of this oil, and a unique artichoke note that completes its profile.

This special oil is primarily used to enhance strongly flavored dishes or as a main dressing for rice salads.
