About the Intosso Imported Olive Oil from Italy

Intosso extra virgin olive oil is a burst of taste originating from the Intosso olive varietal, typical of the Abruzzo region and a jewel of Italian agriculture. The Monovarietal Intosso extra virgin olive oil reflects the bold nature of these olives, known for their characteristic bitterness. This same intensity is found in the extra virgin olive oil: a tasting experience that enchants for its power and balance. 

Taste: On the nose, Intosso reveals a lively green fruity aroma, with initial accents of freshly cut grass that open up to complex notes of artichoke, almond, and tomato leaf. This richness creates a palate where these notes intertwine with the spiciness of the oil, in a harmony of flavors that surprises and satisfies.

Intosso shines for its well-structured sensory profile, where the intensity of fruity, bitter, and spicy notes come together in perfect harmony, making it the preferred choice for those who love bold flavors rich in personality.
