Plomari Platinum Classico extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed within hours of picking, delivering elevated polyphenols and a grassy aroma with a mild peppery finish. It is a classic olive oil preferred by many people for its mild classic fruity character!
The Classico olive oil has a more mild character than its sibling “Unfiltered” due to the later time of harvest. This olive oil has rested for a longer time than the “Unfiltered” and it appears more clear. Enjoy it as a gourmet food by drizzling and finishing almost any dish. Perfect for bread, vegetables, soups cold cuts, carpaccio, roasted meat, fish, and poultry. Unfiltered oils may throw a harmless sediment; store cool and dark, cap tightly, and enjoy promptly after opening for peak aroma.
