Sardegna DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml Academia Olearia

An exceptional expression of Sardinia’s olive-growing heritage, this DOP-certified extra virgin olive oil from Accademia Olearia captures the intensity and purity of early harvest olives at their peak.

Origin & Production

Produced in the north-west of Sardinia, near Alghero, this extra virgin olive oil is obtained from carefully selected olives—harvested while still completely green and processed within hours to preserve their freshness and integrity. The extraction is carried out through a cold process, ensuring that the oil retains its full aromatic profile and natural structure.

Crafted primarily from the native Bosana cultivar, a variety known for its naturally robust and expressive character, this oil reflects both the Mediterranean climate and the precision of modern milling techniques.

Tasting Profile

Structured, vibrant, and unmistakably green.

• Aroma: Fresh olive with intense green fruitiness
• Flavour: Pronounced notes of artichoke and wild herbs
• Finish: Persistent bitterness and elegant peppery spice

The balance between bitterness and pungency is a hallmark of high-quality early harvest extra virgin olive oil, delivering both sensory complexity and freshness.

SUGGESTED MATCHING FOOD

A finishing extra virgin olive oil designed to elevate dishes with character grilled meats and game, Legumes and hearty soups, roasted vegetables, bruschetta and traditional Sardinian cuisine.

Best used raw to fully appreciate its aromatic intensity and structure.

Why It Stands Out

• DOP Sardinia certified – strict origin and production standards
• Early harvest olives – higher aromatic intensity and structure

• Award-winning quality – recognised internationally for excellence
