This Grand Cru olive oil is an exceptional expression of terroir and family tradition. Produced from 100% Coratina olives crushed on the same day of harvest, it reveals remarkable freshness and depth. On the nose, it opens with aromas of green almond, ripe tomato, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is lively and grassy, with bold vegetal notes that unfold into balanced bitterness and a peppery finish. The texture is full yet refined, showcasing the Coratina variety’s distinctive strength. The Sabino Leone oil’s exceptional quality is reflected in its remarkably low acidity level of 0.21% — far exceeding extra virgin standards — and its rich polyphenol content of 612 mg/kg, ensuring both powerful flavor and antioxidant benefits.
Simple Dishes: Ideal for enhancing raw or slow-cooked dishes, from fresh salads to roasted vegetables.
Pasta & Risotto: Drizzle over linguine alle vongole, tomato risotto, or spaghetti with pecorino.
Vegetables & Cheese: Perfect for tomato carpaccio, grilled zucchini, or ricotta tart.
Finishing Touch: A luxurious drizzle over crusty bread or burrata highlights its grassy elegance.
