Description in the Flos Olei guide
Present again in our Guide with a result showing its growth, Meneghetti in Bale is a beautiful holiday farm founded in 2000 and still run by Miroslav Plišo. The olive grove covers almost 2 hectares with 600 trees. In the last harvest 42 quintals of olives were produced and 65 purchased, which allowed to yield 12 hectolitres of extra virgin olive oil. There are two Monocultivar Extra Virgin selections Meneghetti, Leccino and Rošulja, which we recommend.
It is a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with delicate green hues. Its aroma is definite and rotund, rich in vegetal hints of artichoke and wild chicory, together with fresh notes of aromatic herbs, especially mint and rosemary. Its taste is fine and complex, with a flavour of lettuce and final spicy notes of black pepper and almond. Bitterness is powerful and pungency is distinct and harmonic.
