Peranzana

The only and most important factor that makes this oil absolutely unique is the olive itself. One can argue over production techniques, but the quality of the fruit is quite beyond discussion.

The Peranzana is a pure cultivar, it is not a hybrid. The Peranzana originally came from Provence, and “peranzana” is the dialect form for “provenzale”, the Italian for “provençal”, from Provence.

The Peranzana is a medium-sized olive, and the Extra Virgin Olive Oil it produces is low in acidity with a very balanced flavour.
