Frantoio Muraglia Octopus Ceramic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Description

Two great Apulian traditions – making olive oil and creating decorated vases – have come together in this jar. These jars are entirely hand-made by artisans in Apulia who deploy their skills in shaping the clay, kiln-firing and then painting the resulting vessels entirely by hand. Each one is unique.

Tasting notes

Intense fruity oil variety (monocultivar coratina olive). Coratina variety olives are the ultimate expression of the land in Apulia. They give a robust olive oil, as rustic and true as those who cultivate it. The Intense Fruity is an olive oil at once spicy and with just a hint of astringency. Its unique characteristic is that it contains three times the antioxidant polyphenols of any other olive oil. A rich deep green with shades of gold, it is perfumed with irrepressible notes of dill, fennel, artichoke, pepper and hay. In the mouth, it unleashes a riot of vegetable tones; powerful, rich, cut through with phenols perfectly integrated into its structure – a wonderfully balanced taste. Imposing, its closing notes are deliciously spicy and it has a long finish of vegetable tones.
