EVOO Cantigallo P.D.O. Molise: The Grand Cru That Tells the Story of Molise

In the heart of Montenero di Bisaccia, where the Adriatic meets the winds of the Majella, our Organic EVOO PDO Molise is born. This stunning area is home to our Cantigallo Grand Cru, located between 135 and 155 meters above sea level. Specifically, this region is the cradle of young olive trees of the native varieties Gentile di Larino, Nociara, and Leccino. As a result, our oil is a true organic essence of a sun-drenched landscape that smells intensely of aromatic herbs.

Biodiversity and Certification Commitment

Our production follows a strict organic regimen, in full respect of the territory's biodiversity. Indeed, our agricultural practices actively support the local ecosystem. Furthermore, to understand the rigorous quality and origin standards of our product, consult the official website of the P.D.O. Molise (https://www.rina.org/it/prodotti-tipici-dop).

Quality Guaranteed: Harvest and Cold Extraction

The quality of our Cantigallo oil is the result of a careful and meticulous process. First, the olives are harvested by hand with the help of electric shakers, minimizing environmental impact. Subsequently, they are pressed within 12 hours. Crucially, this is an essential time frame to preserve the fruit's freshness. Finally, cold extraction ensures the maintenance of all the beneficial properties and the unique sensory profile of our oil.

Sensory Characteristics and Bold Pairings

Our Cantigallo oil offers a rich sensory experience in every single drop.

• Visual appearance: It presents a dense and brilliant golden-yellow color, which means it attests to its purity and premium quality.
• Olfactory profile: On the nose, it releases a complex bouquet. Aromas of walnut husk mix together with delicate notes of thyme and other aromatic herbs.
• Taste and character: On the palate, it is a harmony between delicacy and persistence. For example, a spicy sensation, similar to habanero chili, gives way to a final taste of chicory and crunchy eggplant. This distinctive flavor makes it perfect for enhancing the flavors of salads, delicate first courses, and raw foods.
