Riviera Ligure is a DOP extra virgin olive oil from the Frantoio Lucchi & Guastalli of Liguria. This delicious extra virgin olive oil is a blend of 90% Razzola varietal and 10% Taggiasca olives. On the Lucchi & Guastalli farm, more than 2,000 Razzola quality olive trees are pruned to an umbrella shape. The shortened trunks allow the olives to be picked more quickly and efficiently. During the harvesting period, which runs from late November until the end of December, the olives are handpicked and special attention is paid so that they don’t fall on the ground. This is a medium, fruity olive oil with a fresh mature scent enriched by hints of artichoke, almond and herbs. It has an initially sweet flavor that gives way to a spicier, sharper taste. Olio is perfect with seafood and vegetables. It can also be used to make the world-famous pesto that’s typical of this area.
