Flos Olei 2022 - Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil Blended, Intense Fruity

Gambero Rosso La Stella 2022 for 10 consecutive years of Tre Foglie

Flos Olei 2021 Farm of the Year  

The Librandi family members are both charming and enthusiastic as they share their family's exquisite organic extra virgin olive oil. What we found most difficult was determining which selections to import. Initially we chose Carolea as a fine representation of the traditions of Calabria and Nocellara for the craftsmanship. This year we added Dradista, a blend of Carolea, Coratina, and Nocellara.

Dradista is medium fruity in aroma, obtained from olives harvested by hand, between October and November, and milled within six hours of harvesting, in the company's mill by means of a last generation continuous plant and cold extraction. Dradista is a filtered organic extra virgin olive oil.

With scents of fresh grass, the taste is harmonic and elegant. The notes are characterized by elements of artichoke and chicory. The bitterness and spiciness are intense and well-balanced, with lasting notes of aromatic herbs.

Perfect on grilled meat, grilled vegetables and mushrooms, vegetable soups.

Dradista is an excellent choice with grilled meat dishes, grilled vegetables, minestrone and legume soups, raw vegetables in pinzimonio. 

This calls out for crunchy salads as well as rich meals with peppers, potatoes, olives, and roasted meats. 

Nancy Harmon Jenkins, renowned for her knowledge of Italy and especially olive oil, featured Librandi's Dradista in a recent blog post. Read to the end to see her review of Dradista as well as a delicious recipe for swordfish!
