The Characteristics of the Organic Pitted Novello Oil

Our 2020 Organic Pitted Novello oil is produced with olives of the Coratina variety, harvested in November in Basilicata in the Lavello (PZ) area. Production took place using cold-pressing with constant temperature control at every processing stage (in accordance with Frantoio Pace's certified Quality system) and with the innovative, certified pitting method. According to the results of the analysis certificate, the organic pitted novello extra virgin olive oil has low acidity (below 0.6%) and a low peroxide number. It is bitter and pungent with fruity notes of artichoke and almond, harmonious and balanced, representing and evoking the scents and flavours of Basilicata In the first days of December, following checks by the certification body Agroqualità, the Organic Pitted Novello Extra Virgin Olive Oil achieved the important European I.G.P. olio lucano recognition, and also in December, it won the Gold Medal at the 2020 BIOL Novello award. Aurum is the name of the Extra Virgin Novello, precious as gold and awarded several accolades confirming the path of High Quality followed by Frantoio Oleario F.lli Pace, always a pioneer in the olive oil sector of Basilicata.
