A native Calabrian plant present in the olive groves of the Reggio hinterland and on the pre-Aspromonte hills, particularly widespread in the Gioia Tauro plain. The tree is very vigorous and large with a beautiful upright bearing. The fruit is small and tends toward a wine-black color, destined for oil production with a yield of about 16-18%. The complete ripening of the fruit occurs approximately in the first half of October. From these precious fruits our monocultivar Cardona is born.
Monocultivar Ottobratica, has an overwhelming fragrance of green-picked olives, with hints of apple and almond blending with sensations of grass, artichoke and fresh fruit. On the palate emerge freshly pressed olive, almond and artichoke with intense bitter and peppery notes.
Rare steak or grilled tuna and swordfish.
