Canino | Local Olive Oil From Province of Viterbo, Italy | TasteAtlas

Canino

This extra virgin olive oil is produced in the Lazio region, namely the province of Viterbo, and has derived from olives of the Canino type. Although higher in quality, the oil content of Canino olives is in the lower range (about 14 to 15%) so the oil is pressed from other locally grown varieties: Caninese, Leccino, Pendolino, Maurino and Frantoio.


The oil is bright green in color and has a well-balanced taste of bitter and spicy notes. It is very low in acidity and has high levels of polyphenols and vitamin E. Canino oil is perfect for salad dressing, drizzling over bruschettas or various soups and vegetable dishes.
