Our Favolosa (Italian varietal) is a strong and robust California Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is a peppery olive oil with distinct aromas of freshly cut grass and a strong presence of tomato leaf. Although high in bitterness it is a very enjoyable and smooth extra virgin olive oil. It is great as a finishing oil over meat dishes or creamy dips.
