The sommelier's note
« An early-harvest Coratina means noble bitterness and the polyphenol pungency, freshness comes first, and I always date the harvest: on oil, the vintage matters as much as on a great wine. »

A non-substitutable product
The killer argument: there are no olive trees in Russia. Premium olive oil is imported almost 100%, a non-substitutable product, with an intact image of excellence, whose high-end segment is now orphaned of its historical suppliers.
