Coratina olive oil is famous for its pepperiness which often can be of chilli strength. A
full bodied olive oil with rich, spicy notes of bitter almonds, artichoke, fresh herbs and a
hint of green tomato. Its intense flavours and bitterness leave an interesting aftertaste.
We recommend Coratina for red meats, for marinating and as a spice. The persisting
flavours makes it ideal for cooking experiments.
