Riserva Masillo Blended Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Riserva Masillo 1919 is a balanced, richly flavoured and fragrant extra virgin olive oil created by blending oils from the different cultivars which are present in the olive grove. The process of cold pressing the olives at a controlled temperature guarantees that the nutritional and physical qualities of the oil are unaltered and its organoleptic properties are preserved so that its benefits may be enjoyed every day.

Chemical analysis to determine the acidity of the oil caused by the presence of oleic acid gives a value below 0.2%. This very low level certify the top quality of our extra virgin olive oil.
