Colline Salernitane

Colline Salernitane extra virgin olive oil is produced in the hills around the city of Salerno in Campania. The designated zone of production stretches from the Amalfi Coast to the Cilento National Park, and the microclimate of the area gives this extra-virgin olive oil an intense color and a unique fruity flavor. Colline Salernitane is made from at least 65% of Rotondella, Frantoio, Carapellese and Nostrale olive varieties, while the rest is obtained from Ogliarola, Leccino and other locally grown cultivars. The color of Colline Salernitane varies from yellow to green, and the taste has a pronounced bitter note. However, since the taste slightly changes over time, Colline Salernitane extra virgin olive oil is more prized when it's young.
