Thanks to the great passion transmitted by the head of the family, Pasquale, the Di Russo farm was born in 2008 when Cosmo decided to renew the family tradition, dedicated to olive growing for generations. Between Gaeta and Itri, the oil mill production has its roots in this territory where the native Itrana cultivar dominates unchallenged. We like Cosmo di Russo’s Colline Pontine Don Pasquale extra virgin olive oil, because it is the result of a skillful mix of territory and climate; between the hills, the limestone sand and the proximity to the sea, this PDO oil releases the taste and power of the Itrana variety in every bite.
Tasting Notes
Caieta extra virgin olive oil is a 100% monovarietal oil of the Itrana cultivar. Olives picked when they are still completely green, release a scent of freshly mown grass, herbs, green tomato and artichoke. Caieta is a medium fruity oil with medium spicy and bitter notes and an aftertaste of tomato and almond.
