Key Facts
Description
Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500ml) – Pacioni Raggia
Pacioni Raggia is a distinctive Italian extra virgin olive oil produced by the Pacioni family, made exclusively from Raggia olives grown in the rolling hills of the Marche region in central Italy. Crafted as a monocultivar, this oil is cold extracted and filtered to preserve freshness, clarity and structure. With its exceptionally high phenolic content, this expression also qualifies as a high polyphenols olive oil, offering both intense flavour and nutritionally valuable antioxidants.
The Producer: Pacioni
Located in the historic Piceno area of Le Marche, Pacioni combines generations of local olive cultivation knowledge with modern milling and quality control techniques. The estate benefits from the region’s ideal olive-growing conditions — gentle hills, temperate coastal influence and well-drained soils — enabling early harvests that deliver fresh fruit character and robust phenolic profiles. The Pacioni family’s commitment to quality ensures careful orchard management, prompt milling and meticulous extraction, resulting in a range of Italian extra virgin olive oils that express true terroir with balance and complexity.
Olive Variety & Extraction Method
Raggia is a traditional Marche cultivar, valued for producing oils with both fruitiness and intensity. Olives are harvested at optimal ripeness and processed using cold extraction to safeguard volatile aromatics, micronutrients and phenolic compounds. After extraction, the oil is filtered to enhance stability, clarity and shelf life while maintaining full sensory integrity.
High Polyphenols Olive Oil – Quality Profile
This Italian extra virgin olive oil stands out as a high polyphenols olive oil, with the 2025/2026 harvest registering approximately 650 mg/kg of polyphenols, a level indicative of both strong sensory impact and functional quality. With low free acidity and rich phenolic concentration, Pacioni Raggia delivers pronounced bitterness and peppery pungency — traits appreciated by chefs and olive oil enthusiasts alike.
Sensory Profile & Food Pairings
On the nose and palate, Pacioni Raggia exhibits vibrant green fruitiness, herbal notes and an elegant finish with lingering spice. Its aromatic character and structured balance make it an excellent choice for enhancing a range of dishes, including:
-
Grilled vegetables and rustic salads
-

White meats and poultry
-
Beans, legumes and soups
Pacioni Raggia is also exceptional when drizzled over warm bread, risotto or fresh tomato salads, giving dishes a vivid olive essence without overpowering other flavours.
