Description
Ascolano is a Tuscan variety
Flavour: Tropical & fruity, with notes of mango, pineapple, apricot, peach, and a touch of green herbaceousness (tomato leaf)
Most Ascolano is planted in Northern California in the USA, above Sacramento. There are also large plantings in Central California by Lindsay, where there are a large number of olives planted for table olives. The Ascolano was originally planted for table olives in California, however the processors found that its fruit bruised too easily, so they stopped buying it, leaving many growers looking for a home for their Ascolano olives. In 2005, our producer started to crush Ascolano olives for oil, and was one of the first to crush table olives at that time. It quickly became a favorite of many, winning more awards than any other olive they have ever bottled. It’s a favorite due to its unique fruity flavors.
Consume raw for health benefits, it has a high polyphenol count.
Pairings: Any balsamic vinegar or wine vinegar.
