In Monteciccardo, in the province of Pesaro-Urbino, the convent of the Padri Serviti (known to everyone as “Il Conventino”) has been a pivotal points in the history of the village: after over two years of absence from the convent corridors, the friars have returned to these hills of tuff and clay, thanks to the Il Conventino oil mill. We like Il Conventino Fra’ Giocondo extra virgin olive oil for its playful character: the Leccino variety from which it derives, reminds us of the cloisters of the convent, among flavors of aromatic herbs such as mint, valerian, rosemary and fruits, accompanied by chimes of cedar, in the distance.
Tasting Notes
Il Conventino Fra’ Giocondo oil is limpid, with a beautifully intense golden yellow color with delicate green hues. The nose is elegant and enveloping, rich in vegetable notes of freshly mown grass and artichoke, accompanied by balsamic hints of mint and rosemary. The mouthfeel is ample and complex, with tones of chicory and lettuce, and a distinct almond aftertaste. Bitterness and pungency are present and balanced.
