Intense extra virgin olive Oil “In”

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 EVO Intenso oil are grown at an altitude of 250 to 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.

It is clear to the eye, with a beautiful deep green color.
To the nose it offers complex and enveloping, characterized by intense herbaceous scents with distinct fruity hints of artichoke, thistle and tomato.
The taste opens with elegant notes of artichoke, thistle, tomato and balsamic herbs such as sage and mint, with decisive bitterness and spiciness in good harmony.
With great structure and elegance. 

In cooking, it is excellent raw on artichoke, ovoli and porcini mushroom salads, fish and beef carpaccio and tartare, raw shellfish, vegetable and legume soups, grilled tuna tagliata and swordfish steak, grilled red meats, and aged stringy cheeses. 

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. One last but very important benefit: it will make you dream with its Mediterranean scents and its ever-discoverable 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.
