Olio di Calabria IGP represents an excellence of southern olive growing, produced in the inland areas of the province of Catanzaro where climatic and soil conditions favor the cultivation of the Carolea olive. This native cultivar, characterized by good hardiness and high quality yields, is the star of an extra virgin oil that reflects the production traditions of the region.
The oil presents a color that ranges from golden yellow to intense green, with aromas spanning from herbaceous notes to fruitier nuances. On the palate, it manifests with a light peppery quality and a minerality that characterizes products from this area, with a soft and persistent texture. These organoleptic qualities make it versatile for both raw uses and cooking.
At the table, Olio di Calabria IGP lends itself magnificently to dressing raw vegetables, legume soups, and fish-based dishes. Its aromatic complexity enhances it on bruschetta and for finishing traditional soups, while in the kitchen it can be used for sautéing and cooking at moderate temperatures, keeping its organoleptic characteristics intact.
