Another convincing result for Laguna Novigrad, which has proposed interesting products to our panel. It is a promising farm founded in Novigrad in 1991. Today it consists of over 7 hectares of specialized olive grove with 2,100 trees. In the last harvest about 260 quintals of olives were produced, which allowed a yield of over 35 hectolitres of extra virgin olive oil. There are two Monovarietal Extra Virgin Vergal, Leccino and Frantoio, which we recommend. It is a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, rich in vegetal hints of artichoke, lettuce and chicory, together with spicy notes of black pepper and almond. Its taste is elegant and complex, with a flavour of country vegetables and aromatic herbs, especially mint and rosemary. Bitterness and pungency are definite and harmonic. It would be ideal on barbecued porcini mushrooms, tuna salads, marinated octopus, grilled radicchio, artichoke purée, pasta with meat sauce, blue fish au gratin, roast game birds or animals, hard mature cheese.
