Turan is a figure from Etruscan mythology, the ancient civilisation that inhabited the area of Forenza, in Basilicata. The name means "the lady", goddess of love, vitality and of the fertility of the earth. This extra virgin olive oil, produced using the stone mill pressing method, is ideal for cooking or frying, exceptional for its balance. The local cultivars, Ogliarola del Bradano and Cima di Melfi, are combined with other prized Italian varieties. Leccino Toscano, Coratina and Peranzana, also grown by the company. The olives are pressed within 12 hours of harvesting, to keep all the characteristics of this precious raw material intact. The oil obtained is unfiltered. It is full-bodied and has an excellent delicate flavour, with an intense yellow colour and a medium fruity aroma, very balanced. Given the full-bodied characteristics typical of the local cultivars, this oil does not undergo further filtration before being bottled, thus preserving its flavour and texture.
