Cru des Crus | Premium 4-Cultivar Blend | Complex and Balanced Fruitiness

THE SENSORY PROFILE

Cru des Crus is not a simple sum of oils — it is a multiplication of aromas. On the nose, it is the most complex oil in the selection: it opens with the enveloping sweetness of pine nuts and banana (typical of Maurino and Leccino), then evolves toward fresh notes of green tomato and thistle. On the palate, it is a complete journey: the entry is soft and green (lettuce), while the heart reveals a vibrant energy of wild thyme and a spicy finish of black pepper (the legacy of Caninese and Frantoio). It is the perfect embrace: rounded yet full of character, sweet yet decisive.

THE SOMMOLIER’S OPINION
Why choose a blend? For harmony. We have combined the power of Caninese, the elegance of Maurino, the balance of Leccino, and the structure of Frantoio.

The Result:
An oil with 470 mg/kg of polyphenols (an extremely high, near-record value) that nonetheless flows on the palate with remarkable smoothness.

The Technical Side:
Despite the assembly of different cultivars, the parameters remain excellent (Acidity 0.36%). This is the “ultimate” bottle for those who don’t want to choose just one flavor — but want them all, in masterful balance.

Format:
The 500 ml bottle is designed to be the centerpiece of your everyday table.

RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS

Thanks to its multifaceted nature, it pairs beautifully with almost everything. It is the true “gourmet all-rounder”:

🍝 Red-Sauce Pasta: Perfect on tomato-based pasta or ragù, where the oil’s green tomato note enhances the sauce.
🍕 Pizza: The finishing touch on a homemade Margherita or Capricciosa.
🥗 Mixed Salads: Its complexity ties together diverse ingredients (tuna, corn, tomatoes).
🐟 Grilled Fish: Its structure stands up well even to the smoky flavors of the grill.
