Description:
Leccio del Corno: a variety of olive tree native to
central Tuscany, initially admired for the beauty
of its foliage. Its elegant shape and the deep
green of its leaves made it popular in gardens,
as it is a truly beautiful plant to look at. It is
also highly adaptable to modern cultivation
systems, and the quality of its oil rivals the
beauty of the tree itself. Today, Leccio del
Corno is widespread in many regions, and its
oil is renowned for its bold yet non-aggressive
flavor, thanks to a perfect balance of bitterness
and spiciness, where artichoke, olive, and wild
herbs are harmoniously combined. The almond
flavor is intense, while the aftertaste bursts
with spicy notes of chili pepper and, above all,
black pepper. It is ideal for dressing radicchio,
vegetables, and grilled meats, as well as for
enhancing pasta dishes or legume soups
