Bio Orto's Organic 'Coratina' Grand Cru EVOO is a limited edition organic, monovarietal Grand Cru extra virgin olive oil that best expresses the local terroir and the cultivars that represent the land that has been part of the Posta dei Colli farm from the start.
Highly regarded for its robust flavor and distinct characteristics, it is made from olives harvested from the Coratina olive tree variety, which is primarily grown in the southern region of Italy, particularly in Puglia.
What sets Coratina EVOO apart is its intense and fruity flavor profile. It is known for its strong and peppery taste, with prominent notes of green herbs and a pleasant bitterness. The flavor is often described as robust and complex, making it a favorite among olive oil connoisseurs and chefs.
Coratina olives are known for their high polyphenol content, which contributes to the oil's distinct flavor profile and potential health benefits. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants found in olives that have been linked to various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and potential protection against certain chronic diseases.
In terms of appearance, Coratina EVOO typically has a deep green color, indicative of its high chlorophyll content. The oil has a rich texture and a slightly thick consistency, which adds to its luxurious and full-bodied nature.
Due to its robust flavor, Coratina EVOO is often used as a finishing oil to drizzle over salads, grilled vegetables, or hearty dishes like soups and stews. Its strong taste can also complement dishes that require a bold flavor, such as grilled meats or bruschetta. It can lend a distinctive and flavorful touch to various recipes, enhancing the overall culinary experience.
