Červar

Novigrad-Cittanova

Details:

For over 25 years the Červar have been running an estate in Novigrad, consisting of about 11 hectares of specialized olive grove with 2,900 trees. In the last harvest 200 quintals of olives were produced, equal to a yield of almost 22 hectolitres of extra virgin olive oil.  

There are two Monocultivar Extra Virgin selections Červar, Istarska Bjelica and the excellent Coratina. Coratina has a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, with vegetal notes of artichoke, chicory and lettuce, enriched with hints of mint, rosemary and sage. Its taste is exuberant and complex, with a spicy flavour of cinnamon, black pepper and a distinct note of unripe almond. Bitterness is definite and pungency is distinct and complimentary.
