The Nicotera Severisio extra virgin olive oil comes out of a century-old family experience, obtained from 15.000 secular olive trees belonging to the extremely refined Carolea cultivar.
Its aroma is intense, recalling fresh grass and leaves; the taste is balanced, spicy and bitter in the throat, with a pleasing flavour of bitter almonds.
Its low acidity, its lightly fruity, fresh and decisive taste, its markedly bitter and spicy after-taste, make the Nicotera Severisio oil quite singular, ideal for making any dish noble and giving it character.
