Tonda Di Cagliari

The Monocultivar Tonda di Cagliari extra virgin olive oil is obtained exclusively from olives of the Tonda di Cagliari variety, a historic cultivar present throughout Sardinia, with particular prevalence in the southern area of the island.
The harvest is carried out at the moment of perfect ripeness, and the olives are cold-pressed within a few hours after harvesting to preserve all the organoleptic characteristics and freshness of the fruit.
The result is an oil that combines intensity and balance, capable of conveying the most authentic soul of the Sardinian olive oil tradition.
