Intense, spicy, multi-award-winning. Olive oil for connoisseurs.
Cillo Monocultivar Coratina is an extra virgin olive oil pressed exclusively from the Coratina olive – a variety known for its exceptional intensity and characteristic bitter-spicy finish. The harvest takes place in mid-November in Basilicata, one of Southern Italy's most unspoiled olive-growing regions. As a monocultivar oil, meaning pressed from only a single olive variety, it showcases the pure, unadulterated flavor profile of the Coratina without blending with other varieties.
This oil not only impresses with its taste but also with its accolades: In the Stiftung Warentest 2024/2025 test, it took 1st place among recommended olive oils, at the Feinschmecker Olio Award 2025 it achieved first place in the medium-fruity category, and at the Olio Award 2026 it secured second place in the intensely fruity category.
On the nose, the oil reveals notes of green almond, artichoke, and herbs like mint. On the palate, an almond aroma unfolds, followed by a subtle bitterness and a characteristic pungency in the finish – the typical hallmark of a high-quality, polyphenol-rich olive oil.
