A jewel from the hills of Campania, this limited-production monovarietal is pressed from 100% Rotondella olives grown on Antonino Mennella's small estate near the ancient ruins of Paestum. What makes it exceptional: the olives are pitted before pressing — a labor-intensive "denocciolato" method that dramatically concentrates polyphenols and produces an oil of remarkable freshness and complexity.
The nose opens with vivid green vegetal notes that evolve into green almond, raw artichoke, and chicory, with an intriguing whisper of wasabi on the finish. Bold, balsamic, and beautifully structured.
At 931 mg/kg of polyphenols — nearly double the average for premium extra virgin olive oil — this is among the most antioxidant-rich EVOOs in the world. These naturally occurring compounds are linked to cardiovascular health, reduced inflammation, and cellular protection. Use it as a finishing oil: drizzled raw over food or as a supplement with a spoonful straight to take advantage of both the flavor and the health benefits where this oil really shines.
