(Expiration listed is JULY 2023, Last of stock until 2024) Sealed in a 1 LITER metal tin to protect the oil from light and oxygen, this is a great way to refill your ceramic cruets! It’s also the perfect size to use directly out if the tin! This extra virgin olive oil is from the Gargano/Dauno DOP area of the Alto Tavoliere in Puglia, Italy. Our PERANZANA olives are freshly pressed every November, creating a unique and powerful unfiltered oil that simply cannot be matched by any other, whether another olive or terroir. We use this oil for absolutely everything, but you especially cannot go without it on salads, bread, pasta and marinades for meats and fish. It's even great for making desserts!
It may be an adjustment for many at first, but the burn in the back of the throat is from the high phenolic content of the oil, including compounds such as oleocanthol, which is associated with the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of the Mediterranean diet. After you come to appreciate this EVOO, most others will seem tasteless and you will want to take this everywhere you go. Residue, known as "The Mother of the Olive," is natural. Keep sealed and away from heat.
