Extra virgin olive oil 2024

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

Medium-intensity green olive fruitiness with fresh grass notes. On the palate, a balanced note of fresh almond emerges, accompanied by herbal nuances, medium bitterness, and persistent, intense spiciness. Delicate yet spicy, harmonious, and well-balanced.

Harvest

Manual harvesting took place between October and early November 2024, 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.
