Leccio del Corno

Leccio del Corno

Monovarietal

Extra virgin olive oil

500 ml

Following the frost of 1929, the Leccio del Corno cultivar was discovered in San Casciano in Val di Pesa and renowned for its remarkable resilience against the cold. Tenuta Maryamado stands out as one of the very few producers of this exceptionally hardy monocultivar.

This extra virgin olive oil boasts a bold flavour profile and robust structure, making it perfect for enhancing dishes like carpaccio, salads, and enjoying on its own.

Sensory evaluation

Monovarietal oil produced exclusively from a single olive variety.

Intense fruity profile featuring green olive, with hints of fresh grass and green coffee. On the palate, a harmonious touch of green almond combines with moderate bitterness, hints of cardoon and artichoke, and a lingering, intense spiciness. Its distinctiveness lies in the potency of its herbaceous notes.

"Grande Olio" featured in Slow Food's "Guida agli Extra Vergini" for 2023.

Harvest

Manual harvesting took place between October and early November 2023, during the initial stages of ripening, in order to maximize both aromatic and phenolic content.

Milling

We employ a continuous cold extraction process at our mill, using equipment to reduce oxidative impact. Olives are processed within one hour of harvesting and the oil is immediately filtered.

Storage

Storage occurs naturally under inert gas (Argon) within stainless steel silos, maintained in a temperature-controlled environment of 18°C.
