Delicate extra virgin olive Oil “De”

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Legend has it that when Aeneas’ ship was about to depart from the coast of Latium, the sailors noticed tiny black fruits floating in the sea and, intrigued, tasted them: the bitterish, salty taste of the Itrana olive left them open-mouthed, so much so that they regretted having to leave a land capable of offering such delicacies.

The Itrana cultivar olives that give rise to Alfredo Cetrone’s Delicato EVO oil are grown at an altitude between 250 and 500 meters above sea level, on rocky soils constantly exposed to the sun and caressed by the sea breeze coming from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The harvest period is from October 1 to December 31, depending on the year and the ripeness of the olives.

To the eye it is clear, with a beautiful soft green color.
On the nose it offers complex and elegant, characterized by herbaceous notes with fruity hints of tomato, almond and banana.
The palate opens with elegant notes of tomato, almond, banana and balsamic herbs of sage and mint, with bitterness and spiciness present but in great balance closing in sweet almond.
With great structure and elegance. 

In the kitchen it is ideal on marinated fish, spelt and legume salads, asparagus creams, vegetable risottos, grilled fish and white meats, salted sea bass, raw and grilled vegetables, fresh string cheese, strawberries with vanilla ice cream. 

INGREDIENTS AND BENEFITS

INGREDIENTS: Itrana cultivar olives. 

There are many benefits to be gained from a very pure, high-quality Italian extra virgin olive oil: thanks to the high presence of polyphenols and oleocanthal, the main culprits responsible for that pungency and bitterness that made us fall in love with it, EVO oil has very high anti-inflammatory properties that make it a real natural medicine; the presence of almost exclusively monounsaturated fats allow EVO oil to go to reduce cholesterol, thanks to regular consumption over time; finally, Italian green gold has a considerable amount of vitamins, particularly group D, which are excellent for the heart, immune system and bones, and group E, called youth vitamins, thanks to their ability to act on cells by slowing down the aging of skin, hair and the whole body.

A last but very important benefit: it will make you dream thanks to its Mediterranean scents and its always-to-be-discovered taste!

SHIPPING

We receive your order, prepare it and ship it in 24/36 hours.

We are aware that excellent products need excellent packaging and at the same time we cannot risk damaging in any way the precious Italian culinary jewels: for this reason, our warehouse is equipped with temperature and lighting ideal for food preservation and the most delicate ones (cheeses, cold cuts and craft beers) are stored inside cold rooms. During shipping, on the other hand, each product is protected with the packaging most appropriate to its characteristics.

Cheeses and cured meats, which despite being aged require special care, travel accompanied by a special slow-release gel ice inside isothermal bags: in this way freshness is preserved until the goods arrive at your home.

For our craft beers, which are unpasteurized and therefore more sensitive to high temperatures than normal, we use a special isothermal bubble wrap, which can ensure that the accumulated cold is maintained for the shipping time while protecting the bottles from shocks.

To secure the precious bottles of Italian wine, we have equipped ourselves with special inflatable bags, designed solely for the purpose of immobilizing and protecting this product inside the box.

For jars containing a thousand Italian goodnesses, we use special protective bubble wrap liners.
