After a year's absence a better result could not have been possible. The family-run farm Vedran Lupić was founded about ten years ago in Bale. Currently there is an olive grove of about 11 hectares with 2,000 trees of local varieties. In the last oil harvest 102 quintals of olives were produced, equal to almost 11 hectolitres of extra virgin olive oil. The panel recommends the excellent Extra Virgin Bembo, which is an intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is strong and rotund, rich in hints of aromatic herbs, especially mint, rosemary and black pepper, together with vegetal notes of freshly mown grass, chicory and artichoke. Its taste is ample and elegant, with a flavour of wild thistle and a distinct almond finish. Bitterness is definite and pungency is present and harmonic. It would be ideal on tuna appetizers, bruschette, artichoke salads, marinated chicken, asparagus soups, risotto with porcini mushrooms, barbecued swordfish, baked game birds or animals, hard mature cheese.
