TASTING NOTES
A harmonious coupage of different cultivars creating an oil with various sweet, mellow and fruity tones. A blend of Mission olives (delicate taste), Frantoio olives (strong green overtones, peppery) and Carotina (slight bitter bite), to produce a distinct aroma of freshly cut grass.
PAIRING
Delicately sweet and wonderfully mellow, OLYFBERG is the perfect match for salads, creamy soups, and delicate white fish dishes. Its subtle flavor enhances without overwhelming, bringing out the best in each ingredient. Whether drizzled over fresh greens, stirred into a velvety soup, or used for grilling or frying, it adds a touch of sophistication and a satisfying crispness to every dish.
