“Prasinum ” comes from Latin and means green. A perfect name for this EVO oil that links its aromas to this color, as they are rich in variegated vegetable nuances of field herbs, vegetables and aromatic herbs. With this EVO oil Tenuta Il Principato, in the heart of the Lazio Maremma, offers us a delicate but well-characterized product. It can be easily paired with sauces, fish, fresh cheeses and salads. Prasinum is a beautiful expression of the Leccino, Frantoio and Maurino EVOO blend in the Canino PDO territory.
