BIO Leccino EVO - Tenute Donna Vittoria
BIO Leccino Extra Virgin Olive Oil represents one of the most refined expressions of Tenute Donna Vittoria's production. Located on the slopes of Gargano, in San Giovanni Rotondo, our farm operates with deep respect for the local olive-growing heritage. The Leccino variety, known for its versatility and distinctive elegance, finds ideal conditions in this microclimate to express a distinctive sensory profile, characterised by a balanced combination of sweet notes and herbaceous aromas, making it appreciated both by experienced palates and by those seeking a high-quality everyday product.
The production process strictly follows organic regulations, an ongoing commitment that guarantees the absence of synthetic chemical products throughout every stage, from olive grove management to harvesting. The olives are harvested at the optimal stage of ripeness in order to preserve their organoleptic properties and ensure an extremely low acidity level. Milling takes place within a few hours of harvesting at a certified olive mill, using cold-extraction techniques that preserve the fruit's original aromatic profile. Every bottle reflects the dedication of our master olive oil producers, who constantly monitor each stage to ensure the maximum integrity of the finished product.
An interesting aspect of this oil concerns its varietal history. Although Leccino is a cultivar widely grown throughout Italy, the Gargano expression produced by Tenute Donna Vittoria has a unique personality, influenced by the sea breezes and the limestone composition of the soils. This natural synergy gives the oil a light yet persistent structure, making it a protagonist in Mediterranean gastronomic preparations. On the palate, it is smooth and fluid, with notes of freshly cut grass, artichoke, and a final touch of sweet almond, without excessive bitterness.
The quality of this oil is guaranteed by complete traceability, covering the entire journey from the olive tree to packaging and providing consumers with maximum transparency. As a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, it is perfect for use raw on salads, velvety soups, steamed fish, or white meats. Choosing this oil means selecting a product that respects the cycles of nature and food safety, while supporting a short supply chain and responsible agriculture. The bottle has been designed to protect the oil from light and oxidation, ensuring its stability over time and bringing an authentic piece of the Apulian land to your table.
