Maria Oil

In the name of excellence
It would be too easy to describe this oil as the expression of the highest quality of the Tenuta Masciangelo signature brands, a simplification that would not honor the sophisticated complexity of a truly extraordinary oil. Everything in the Maria line is driven by excellence: patient picking of the olives of our centuries old trees, scrupulous selection that eliminates any imperfection, pressing done immediately after harvesting to preserve the richness of aromas, a packaging design that skillfully mixes references to the past and an innovative vision of the future. The result is an extra virgin olive oil of unsurpassable quality, able to amaze with its perfect combination of bitter and spicy notes, very low acidity, its aromatic richness and the high number of antioxidants.
