Description 

Sun-ripened Sicilian Mandarins are pressed with estate-grown olives to produce this wonderfully fragrant extra virgin olive oil. The warm, sweet aroma of mandarins is released each time the bottle is opened.

A perfect complement to shellfish, salads, fish and poultry. It is also a wonderful addition to desserts or in biscuits and cakes.

This extra virgin olive oil is also rich in polyphenols, with a level of 413mg/kg, making it packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that may help protect blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) against oxidative damage.

Producer

From Marina Colonna’s Masseria Bosco Pontini Estate in the Italian region of Molise, comes this delicious, full-flavoured oil which is produced from handpicked olives. Ten varieties of olives are grown, so the blend may change from year to year. An extremely innovative lady, Marina is also responsible for three delicious infused oils - the Granverde (lemon), Mandarino (mandarin) and Arancia (orange). She was the first producer to make naturally infused oils. Rather than adding an infusion to an existing oil, she presses the fruit together with her olives; untreated lemons grown on her estate, Sicilian mandarins and oranges from central Italy.
