Organic Bergamot Olive Oil - Umbria By Etruria

250 ml The flowery citrus flavor of the organic bergamot balances well with his organic Late Harvest extra-virgin olive oil, and the combination is a natural for foods. It is the perfect oil to brighten your salads, vegetable dishes, and especially fish.. Giuseppe Cagnoni produces his olive oil in the small Umbrian town of Trevi. Located on a steep hill between Assisi and Spoleto it is surrounded by miles and miles of olive groves. Five generations of his family have made exceptional oil from olives grown on their own property. The primary olive is Muraiolo, an Umbrian specialty, with small amounts of Leccino and Frantoio rounding out the blend. Only the first pressing of his finest organically grown olives are pressed for this oil. In various parts of Italy, farmers often press small amounts of olives with fresh citrus fruit to create heavenly scented oils for family and friends. Unlike infused oils, which tend to lose flavor, crushing fruit and olives together maintains the pure flavor of each. Cagnoni uses one of the rarest citrus fruit in Italy, the tiny green bergamot grown in Calabria - you may remember it most as the essence added to black tea to make the world-famous Earl Grey.
