GRUMPY GOATS FARM CORATINA
Single Varietal Olive Oil
This organic EVOO is milled from Coratina olives that produce a robust, traditional, Italian-style oil. In tasting, you will find It has notes of green tea and green grass up front, a hint of artichoke, and a long apple-pie-spice finish. It is a robust oil and will stand up to rich flavors in prepared dishes, ideal for drizzling on soups, grilled meats and vegetables, and on salads.
The Coratina olive is originally from Corato Apulia, Italy, in the ‘boot’ section of Italy. Today Coratina is grown mainly in the province of Bari, Italy. Well suited for growing Northern California, our Coratina olives ripen slowly and are the last we harvest each year in late November.
Our Coratina EVOO is rich in natural antioxidants. Laboratory tests measure the Grumpy Goats Farm Coratina oil’s total phenols high, at ranges of between 400-600 mg/kg each year. Lab tests and taste panels agree this is a robust extra virgin olive oil. A high poly-phenol content will also improve the shelf life of an olive oil.
