Ampeleia Olio Extravergine d'Oliva BIO 500ml
Region of production: Tuscany (Italy)
Olive harvest campaign 2023/24
Extra virgin olive oil from the Leccino, Correggiolo, Moraiolo and Pendolino varieties coming from olive groves at 200m above sea level. Superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and exclusively by mechanical processes.
Very tender and fruity olive oil with a refreshing herbal and bitter profile. Not only is bitter-tasting olive oil better for you, it's also a sign that it's a better quality product, because the polyphenol content changes significantly during both the extraction process and over the course of the shelf life. Heat kills polyphenols, so olive oil that is cold-pressed (the more expensive kind) tends to be more bitter. High-polyphenol olive oil is sold in dark or green-tinted glass to protect it from light and oxygen.
Some suggestions are:
Fruity Olive Oil and Citrus Vinaigrette
Olive Oil and Herb-Roasted Vegetables
Green fruity olive oil is a perfect accompaniment to salads and dishes based on sunny vegetables during the summer, which it will awaken with its strong character.
