The name of this EVO oil derives from the typical Abruzzo cultivar of Castiglionese, whose presence is mainly limited to the Fino Abruzzo valley and whose taste is genuine, strong and kind just as the people of its region.
Category: Castiglionese
Castiglionese is a typical autochthonous Abruzzo cultivar which can be found in the very restricted area of the Fino river valley, taking its name from the town of Castiglione Messer Raimondo. Castiglionese is a not self-fertile olive tree which is characterized by a medium yield and an early-medium ripening (October-November). This cultivar confers vegetable notes to its EVOOs, and an equilibrate bitterness and pungency which makes this cultivar perfect to go with a wide variety of dishes.
