Sassente Marfuga Extra Virgin Olive Oil | Monocultivar Frantoio
PRODUCT DETAILS
Sassente is a monocultivar extra virgin olive oil produced by Azienda Agraria Marfuga, a family estate in Campello sul Clitunno, Umbria, growing olives since 1817. It is made from 100% Frantoio olives, obtained through a strict selection carried out first in the olive groves and then in the mill. Recognised by Marfuga as its Best Monocultivar EVOO of Umbria, Sassente is known for its elegant, complex character and refined balance.
Nivitaly, based in Abu Dhabi, imports Sassente directly from Marfuga in Umbria and brings it to customers across the UAE, with full batch traceability back to the estate.
Origin
Sassente is grown, harvested and pressed entirely at the Marfuga estate in Campello sul Clitunno, in the province of Perugia, Umbria, Italy. The oil follows Marfuga's guaranteed production chain, covering everything from harvesting to extraction and bottling within the same estate.
Flavour Profile
Sassente has an elegant and complex aroma, with fresh notes of green almond. On the palate, it opens with a sweet, gentle entrance carrying green hints of grass and almond, closing with a pleasant, well-balanced bitterness and spiciness that gives the oil its refined character.
