Intensity: Medium Robust
Intensity correlates to the amount of bitterness and/or pungency experienced when consuming an extra virgin olive oil. An olive oil with little bitterness that creates little to no sensation in the back of the throat is considered mild. A very bitter olive oil that causes a slight burning or spicy sensation in the mouth and throat is robust. We rate intensity between 5 values: Mild, Medium, Medium Robust, Robust and Extreme.

Il Sincero is an oil produced exclusively from the Moraiolo olive grown in the Sant'Eraclio di Foligno area of Umbria and is the oldest and primary variety of olive grown on the stony hillside of Viola estate. The fruit is harvested by hand in October at the beginning stage of ripeness, producing an extra virgin olive oil with a unique, intense flavor typical of this variety. This robust oil pairs remarkably well with pork fillet, grilled game, bitter green salads and pulses. It is also excellent drizzled on toasted bread, mature cheeses and citrus sorbets.
