The very good Monocultivar Extra Virgin Zigante - Buža is an intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, rich in fruity hints of unripe tomato, white apple and banana, together with fresh notes of basil, mint and parsley. Its taste is complex and vegetal, with a flavour of broad beans, lettuce and celery. Bitterness is definite and pungency is distinct and harmonic.
