If the Correggiolo epitomises the Tuscan elemental force, the Leccino is its elegant sister. A variety that is widespread throughout Italy – robust, cold-resistant, reliable in yield and early ripening. But at Felsina, where it has been growing in the groves of Fèlsina, Pagliarese and Boschi since the 1960s, it shows its finest face: an oil of medium intensity that emphasises balance over strength. The olives are harvested by hand earlier than the other varieties, when they are just beginning to ripen. They are pitted within four hours and pressed at 25 degrees centigrade – only the pulp, no stone (denocciolato). The oil rests under nitrogen in stainless steel and is only vacuum-packed when ordered.

Sparkling lime green. The nose is fresh and clear-cut: Wild herbs, chives, celery leaf – an aroma like a Tuscan vegetable garden in spring. A soft, subtle entry on the palate, then notes of fresh almond, olive leaf and garden herbs unfold. Bitterness and spiciness are present, but restrained – an oil that accompanies rather than dominates. Ideal for light dishes: salads, mushrooms, poached or raw fish, tender veal or poultry. Wherever the oil should enhance the dish without drowning it out. SUPERIORE.DE
