For four generations, beginning in 1952, this family has been producing olive oil. Now with a modern mill and 15,000 trees, this well regarded farm has become a point of reference, as noted by Marco Oreggia in Flos Olei 2018.
A blend of Moresca and Tonda Iblea olives, this oil is elegant and rotund, with notes of basil, mint and oregano, with hints of tomato, and banana. The taste brings forth elements of lettuces, fresh broad beans, and celery. Bitterness and pungency are noted.
This is ideal for farro salads, boiled beans, marinated fish, seared potatoes, chickpea soups, pasta with salmon, roasted chicken, and goat cheeses.
