The product
Olio Sabina DOP is a yellow-gold olive oil with green hues in the very fresh oil, very low acidity and rich in natural antioxidants that make it an ideal food for the daily diet and an excellent ally in the prevention of cardio-vascular diseases.
Its has a clean aroma of olives with complex notes of fresh vegetables. Its taste is broadly fruity and well-balanced, with an aftertaste of artichoke, thistle and almond that is bitter and spicy for fresh oils.
