Tasting Notes
Americo Quattrociocchi's Primolio extra virgin olive oil has a clear green color. The nose is herbaceous and fruity with hints of green olive enriched with complex vegetable notes of freshly cut grass and green tomato, while the taste is typically robust and spicy with a pleasantly sharp and peppery finish. Bitterness and pungency are balanced and persistent.
