Romanella EVOO, Tenute del Caricaturo (250ml)

Exceptionally rich in polyphenols, this artisanal extra virgin olive oil is made exclusively from Romanella di Padula, a rare and ancient olive variety native to the Padula area. Now cultivated solely on a single estate in Campania, this unique cultivar is so valuable to Italian agricultural heritage that it has been recognized as a Slow Food Presidium, supporting biodiversity and traditional farming practices.

Cold-pressed in small batches to preserve its complexity and integrity, Romanella di Padula EVOO presents a medium fruity profile, with a distinctive flavor journey. It opens with a gentle, sweet note, followed by an intense, complex bitterness and persistent spiciness that linger beautifully on the palate. This depth of flavor reflects the strength and uniqueness of the variety, making it ideal for those who appreciate bold, expressive oils.

Perfect for pairing with rich, hearty dishes, Romanella di Padula oil enhances the taste of legume-based soups, grilled meats, and rustic Mediterranean recipes. Its bold character cuts through robust ingredients while adding nuance and depth.

The label artwork features Athena, the revered Olympian goddess of wisdom and war, and patroness of Athens. Illustrated by a local young artist, this homage not only symbolizes strength and intellect but also celebrates the region's cultural heritage and commitment to craftsmanship.

From field to bottle, this is more than just olive oil, it’s a rare expression of terroir, tradition, and preservation, offering a truly distinctive sensory experience.
