SPITZ RENATO

A really excellent result for the holiday farm Spitz, active since 1992 in Karigador, an area which is becoming one of the points of reference of the new Croatian olive growing. Renato Spitz, the owner, runs 2.5 hectares of specialized olive grove with 800 trees. In the last harvest 100 quintals of olives were produced, equal to 13 hectolitres of extra virgin olive oil. We recommend the Extra Virgin Spitz, which is an intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is definite and ample, endowed with rich aromatic hints of mint, rosemary and sage, together with intense vegetal notes of artichoke, wild thistle and chicory. Its taste is elegant and complex, characterized by a flavour of fresh country vegetables and black pepper with evident sweet almond. Bitterness is powerful and pungency is distinct. It would be ideal on bluefish appetizers, grilled porcini mushrooms, baked radicchio, artichoke soups, grilled swordfish, barbecued red meat, stewed pork, medium mature cheese.
