The latest discovery from Puglia is Crudo, produced by the Schiralli family near Bari in Puglia. The present owner’s grandfather began this family production in the foothills in 1922. More than 8000 trees are grown on 20 hectares of land. Crudo is grown, harvested, and pressed on site following the ancient traditions and with full respect for the land. The pressing method minimizes oxidation and produces an oil rich in polyphenols.
This masterful, robust extra virgin olive oil features flavors of green almond, artichoke heart, and fresh olive. Its long-lasting, round bitterness is reminiscent of cardoons and mustard greens. It flaunts spectacular polyphenol fireworks—delivering a unique spicy experience all over the mouth, while leaving the palate completely clean.
A monocultivar of Ogliarola olives, Crudo is unfiltered, bright yellow-green, and notably lively. We recommend this extra virgin olive oil with grilled fish, vegetables, salads, and grilled bruschetta.
