Lopes Notturno organic extra virgin olive oil, night harvest, Bag-in-Box 5 L

The flagship of the Lopes range: organic extra virgin olive oil from olives harvested at night. Harvesting at a relatively low temperature preserves quality, prevents unwanted fermentation and improves the organoleptic profile.

Notturno is also available in large formats: Bag-in-Box of 3, 5 and 10 L and a 1.5 L Pouch Up.

Intense, clear golden-yellow colour with delicate green hues. Broad, rounded aroma of unripe tomato and almond with basil and mint. The taste is fine and complex, with vegetable notes of artichoke, chicory, lettuce and celery; the bitterness is pronounced and the pungency harmonious and distinct. Awarded by Gambero Rosso (two "foglie" in Oli d’Italia 2022) and listed in Flos Olei.

Antico Frantoio Lopes 1860 is a family estate in San Demetrio Corone (Calabria) whose history goes back to the 15th century; production is fully organic, the oil is cold extracted and its acidity is within Extra Virgin limits (< 0.8%).
