FRANTOIO DI SANT’AGATA D’ONEGLIA

The Azienda, owned by the Mela family for generations, is located in the  hamlet of Sant’Agata, in the first entroterra of Oneglia.

Surrounded by hills of Taggiasca olive trees, the mill produces DOP Riviera Ligure – Riviera dei Fiori extra virgin olive oil: cold pressed (monocultivar Taggiasca), hand-harvested, olives picked and crushed within twenty-four hours.

This EVO has a sweet, fruity aroma and a delicate, round flavour. To the eye, it is straw-yellow, medium density and slightly cloudy.

Acidity < 0.3%. Winner of the Ercole Olivario prize in the light fruity category. Following Ligurian culinary tradition, this oil complements the products of the land: simple and light recipes, sauces, creams and basil pesto. All the specialities are free from colouring and preservatives to respect their naturalness. The Azienda’s motto reads: “Small producers of great quality since 1827”.
