Podere Riparbella Macchia is a medium-fruity organic extra virgin olive oil made from the Maurino variety. Typical of this unique olive, it has aromas of freshly cut grass, tomato leaves, and above all, Mediterranean wild herbs – hence the name Macchia . On the palate, it is elegant with pleasant bitter notes, accompanied by a subtle, peppery spiciness.Origin & Processing
The olives for this organic extra virgin olive oil come from Massa Marittima in the Maremma region, where olive grower Christian Prohaska cultivates the Maurino variety – a total of 370 trees – according to strict organic principles. The unripe olives are harvested by hand in mid-October. Within hours of picking, the fruit is processed into exquisite oil using cold extraction at the renowned Frantoio Franci in Montenero d'Orcia.background
The Maurino olive is a rather rare variety, prized for its herbaceous aroma and delicate elegance. Macchia from Podere Riparbella is an authentic expression of the Maremma terroir – natural and certified organic.Food pairing
Macchia goes perfectly with Caprese salad, grilled vegetables, legumes, pasta, risottos with red prawns, light meats or fish. It is also ideal for refining vegetarian dishes, soups and bruschetta.Note from the Master of Olive Oil
“I have a wonderful friendship with Christian Prohaska and Veronica Malzacher of Riparbella that has lasted over 12 years. From Christian, I learned nothing less than some of the most important virtues one should possess in the olive oil business. Macchia is an expression of these lessons and therefore an oil that deserves a very special place in my heart.” – Silvan Brun, Master of Olive Oil
