Penisola Sorrentina

As it might be suggested by its name, Penisola Sorrentina extra virgin olive oil of  is produced on the peninsula of Sorrentina, located in the province od Naples, where olive cultivation dates back to the era of Great Greece. The Sorrentina oil is obtained from the Ogliarola or Minucciola olive variety, which must make up at least 65% of the groves, while the Rotondella, Frantoio and Leccino varieties make up the remaining 35% of the groves. Penisola Sorrentina is straw yellow in color, and has a fruity aroma with herbal notes, especially those of rosemary and mint.

The fruity taste of this oil is well balanced with the bitter and piquant aftertaste. Because of its strong aromatic flavor, Penisola Sorrentina is perfect for using in most typical dishes of the Campania region, including grilled fish and vegetables or even for preparing lemon sorbettos and other local desserts.
