For the first time in the US Olive oil Master Antonino Mennella presents us with his early harvest, super antioxidant Novello. The first press of the 2024 Season and made with 100% Itrana olives. A precious find for olive oil connoisseurs.
Antonino Mennella is a passionate young extra virgin olive oil producer from the Salerno area of Campania, Italy. On his small 2,000-tree farm he produces this limited production robust, intense, and fruity extra virgin olive oil (We only received SIX bottles) by removing the pits of theItrana olives, and then only pressing the remaining fruit. This process is known as "denocciolate".
This pitting before pressing is unique, and it creates an extraordinary extra virgin olive oil unlike any other you will find.
Antonino uses advanced pressing and processing technology to produce a super extra virgin olive oil with double the average content of polyphenol antioxidants, and an astoundingly low level of free oleic acid. As a result, this extra virgin olive oil has almost the same level of freshness as an olive still on the tree.
La Madonna dell’Olivo has optimal levels of vitamin E tocopherols, and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. This extra virgin olive oil has a remarkably well balanced flavor profile and is thus a ‘double winner’ -- an elixir of good health with amazing flavor.
This is a deep, intensely fruity extra virgin olive oil with irresistible aromas.
"My objective," says Antonino, "is to fight uniformity and exalt differences." Try this NOVELLO Extra Virgin Olive Oil and you will see exactly what he means!
