Benso organic olive oil is a premium, first cold-pressed olive oil obtained solely through mechanical means. It is made from Leccino olives (a Tuscan variety) which impart notes of fresh tomato slices, raw artichoke, almond, and hazelnut.
Like wine, olive oil is sensitive to climatic conditions. Consequently, its flavor profile varies from year to year. This year, the organic oil reveals aromas of green tomato and raw artichoke, followed by a finish of almond, all with very low bitterness.
Benso organic olive oil is, of course, primarily used in cooking (on salads, as a dressing, etc) but is also simply delicious on a slice of fresh bread.
