Why we love it
Mare e Monti, sea and mountains in Italian, is an olive oil obtained from a blend of olive varieties grown on a single grove of about 4 hectares in Abruzzo between the Apennines mountains - the "monti"- and the Adriatic sea - the "mare", where about 1000 centenarian olive trees of different varieties, Gentile di Chieti, Leccino, Moraiolo and Leccio del Corno, have thrived.
Mare e Monti is a medium fruity extra virgin olive oil with pronounced notes of green tomato, freshly cut grass and fresh herbs. Full-bodied and intense, bitter and spicy, aromatic, balanced. Ideal for consumption raw on fish, meat and vegetables, or cooking, an all round extra virgin olive oil.
The artisan who made it
