Extra Virgin Olive Oil LECCINO
Leccino is a traditional Tuscan olive oil cultivar and is often blended with Frantoio.
Green olives, olive leaves, fresh grass and celery are common aromas. Although not as full bodied as the Frantoio it has a good balance with the bitterness and pungency.
We recommend Leccino for raw vegetables and grilled dishes like fish or chicken. It also
complements a leafy green salad dressing.
