Sogno di Liguria Riviera Ligure Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a 100% Ligurian IGP-certified olive oil produced in the northern coastal region of Liguria, Italy. The Riviera Ligure IGP certification guarantees that the olives are grown, harvested, and pressed in Liguria according to strict regional quality standards, a region known for producing some of Italy’s most delicate and elegant olive oils.
Ligurian olive oils are typically made from Taggiasca olives, a variety known for producing smooth, buttery olive oils with very low bitterness and a soft almond-like finish. Unlike the stronger and peppery olive oils from Tuscany or Puglia, Ligurian olive oils are more refined, delicate, and slightly nutty, making them ideal for seafood and light dishes.
This olive oil is freshly pressed and cold extracted to preserve its delicate aromas and flavors. The oil has a light fruitiness with soft herbal notes, a smooth texture, and an elegant nutty finish.
