Bilini Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an expertly composed blend of selected Istrian and Italian olive cultivars. It is characterized by a bright, limpid golden-yellow color with refined green reflections. The aromatic profile is clean and precisely defined, marked by elegant herbal notes of officinal plants, with clearly expressed nuances of mint, rosemary, and sage. On the palate, the oil reveals a harmonious yet powerful structure, delivering a broad vegetal profile of artichoke, wild chicory, and fresh lettuce, followed by refined secondary notes of almond and cinnamon, resulting in a well-balanced and persistent finish.
