Famiglia Orlandi Favarol Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2022 (250 ml)

On our visit to the area of Verona, we were charmed by Cristina and Carlo, the proprietors of Famiglia Orlandi, their olive oil production, and the history of their property.

Favarol is the first monovarietal produced by the family. Favarol is the oldest native variety and very few trees remain. This is a unique selection to be apprised by exquisite palates. Available only in a 250 ml bottle.

This selection has a powerful character. Bitter is sincerely notable with persistent spice. The aroma is medium fruity with notes of vegetables, artichoke, and green almond. 

Serving recommendations: on good bread, raw beef tartare (carpaccio!), raw shellfish, and on chocolate ganache -- and even in a batch of brownies.

A historian of the village, also the co-author of the book "Illasi", was told by the prior owners of the farmhouse that it was used as a fort for American Soldiers during World War II. Bicycles, tobacco and weapons belonging to the US soldiers were found in the cellar.

The address of the farm is "Localita Americani."
