Romanza - Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Meaning 'Romance' in Italian, this unique and harmonious robust blend, signifies the love affair between Olio Bello’s organic olives and the spectacular Romanza olive grove in the heart of the property. 

It also is the name of our very first oil and  pays tribute, to the ship that transported our world-class pressing mill: The 'Pieralisi', all the way from Jesi in Italy, to the Farm in 2001.

A popular and multi-awarded organic olive oil, the Romanza continues to be a favourite at the farm. 

In 2024, Romanza was crafted with a blend of the  Frantoio and WA Mission olive varieties and received a Silver Medal, at the WA Olive Awards - being only one point away from winning a gold!  

JUDGE'S COMMENTS - WA OLIVE AWARDS:

AROMA

"Floral aromas of mild herbs, spice and apple"

PALATE
"Mild fruit flavours travel well with spice notes coming through and developing herb and vegetable on palate, in a smooth oil."

COMPLEXITY

"Bitterness is delightful, with olive characteristics and the pepper is lingering. A well balanced oil."

FOOD MATCHING
