Huile d'olive de Corse

Huile d'olive de Corse is a smooth olive oil made in the south of the Corsica region of France, devoid of bitterness and fieriness and with a mild, pleasant taste. It has an aroma that is delicate and reminiscent of sweets, dried fruit and Corsican scrub, while it is pale to clear yellow, with occasional flashes of green.

Only olives from trees that are at least five years old can be used in the production of olive oil, and the olives must be from the Sabine, Ghjermana, Capannace, Raspulada, Zinzala, Aliva Néra or Curtinese variety.

Corsican olive oil is appreciated as one of the softest and most taste-varied ones due to Corsica's shrublands which rub off on the fruit. Use the oil in pasta, drizzle it on potatoes or pair it with a nice goat cheese.
