This young olive oil facility marks its debut in the guide. Founded just a few years ago by Aldo Cetina, the operation consists of two hectares of olive groves planted with over 600 trees including Buža, Carbonaza, Istarska Bjelica and Leccino. This year Cetina harvested three tonnes of olives, producing about 350 litres of extra virgin olive oil. Our selection of the extra virgin olive oil Fonda Colomba has good clarity and intense golden yellow colour. Its aroma is elegant with ample fruit and vegetal characteristics including ripe banana, almond, artichoke, lettuce and fresh field grass. It is round and complex in the mouth, with harmonious notes of greenery and medicinal herbs including parsley and basil. Bitterness and sharpness are moderate and very balanced. This oil marries well with lentil or bean appetizers, marinated vegetables, roasted mussels, farro salads, orzo soups, porcini mushroom dishes, fish ‘‘al cartoccioÂ’Â’, grilled pork and aged mozzarella.
