From the hillside groves of eastern Tuscany, Podere Tovari produces this bold monocultivar Moraiolo extra virgin olive oil, made exclusively from olives grown on the estate. Carefully selected and brought to the UK by Amore GNA Wines, it represents a more intense and vibrant style, prized for its depth and character. Moraiolo is known for its strong personality, producing oils with pronounced fruitiness and aromatic complexity. At Podere Tovari, careful harvesting and rapid pressing preserve the vivid green character of the olives and their natural intensity. On the nose, it is expressive and layered, with herbaceous notes of olive leaf, artichoke, and green almond. The palate is lively and structured, showing a balanced interplay of bitterness and spice, both at a medium to high intensity. These elements work together to create a vibrant, energetic profile with a long, persistent finish. There is real depth here, with layers of herbaceous, lightly sweet, and gently spicy notes, giving the oil a rich and satisfying character. This is a versatile but assertive oil, ideal for adding depth to dishes. It works particularly well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, legumes, and soups, where its intensity can enhance and elevate the final dish. Produced on a small, organic estate where quality comes before quantity, this Moraiolo reflects the craftsmanship of Podere Tovari, an oil that is complex, expressive, and full of character.
