Discover the Secret to Perfectly Pairing Our Two Extra Virgin Olive Oils

Extra virgin olive oil is a fundamental ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, capable of enhancing the flavors of dishes and making them unique. Each oil has different sensory characteristics, which lend themselves to specific combinations to best express their potential. Today we present our two EVO oils: one medium fruity and one intense fruity, with practical advice on how to use them to maximize the value of your recipes.

Medium Fruity EVO Oil: Balance and Versatility

Our medium fruity oil has a harmonious aromatic profile, with herbaceous notes and a slightly spicy aftertaste. It is perfect for those looking for a balanced condiment, able to accompany dishes without overpowering their flavor.

Ideal for:

• Mixed salads with fresh vegetables and delicate cheeses

• Steamed or grilled fish

• First courses based on vegetables, such as pasta with courgettes or mushroom risotto

• White meats, such as chicken or turkey, cooked in the oven or on the grill

• Bruschetta with fresh tomato and basil

• 
  

Intense Fruity EVO Oil: Character and Personality

Our intensely fruity oil is rich in strong aromas, with notes of artichoke, freshly cut grass and a hint of bitterness and spiciness. It is the perfect ally for those who love strong flavours and want to give character to their dishes.

Ideal for:

• Grilled or roasted red meats

• Legumes and rustic soups, such as ribollita or chickpea soup

• Aged cheeses, such as pecorino or parmesan

• Grilled or sautéed vegetables

• Pasta with savory sauces, such as ragù or black cabbage pesto

  
  

The Secret? Playing with Contrasts

One of the best ways to enhance your dishes is to experiment with pairings. For example, try adding the intense fruity oil to a simple slice of toast with a pinch of salt to discover all its aromatic richness. Or use the medium fruity to soften the flavor of more delicate dishes without covering their natural sweetness.

Both our EVO oils are perfect to accompany your daily cooking, bringing the best of tradition and taste to the table. Try them and find your favorite combination!
