The Source of Green Gold: The Canino Variety, a Unique Cultivar
One of the secrets of Oliottaviani's success lies in the choice of the Canino variety, a cultivar typical of the Tuscia area, in the Lazio region.
Characterised by a strong, fruity flavour with notes of bitterness and spiciness, this variety contributes to a rich and intense olive oil, ideal for enhancing traditional and modern dishes.
The Ottaviani family harvests the olives by hand and processes them within a few hours, preserving the freshness and nutritional properties of the oil, thanks to cold pressing techniques that keep its organoleptic qualities intact.
The Canino variety is not only a quality product, but a symbol of the link between the company and the land.
The specific soil and climatic conditions of this region contribute significantly to the distinctive flavour and high quality of Caninese extra virgin olive oil, recognised for its Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status.
Caninese olive oil is renowned for its intense, green and strong aromatic profile. It has a fruity aroma with notes of almond, artichoke and freshly cut grass. The flavour is delicate and balanced, with a slightly spicy and bitter aftertaste, typical of high-quality olive oils.
