Olivastro is a monovarietal organic extra virgin olive oil from Italy, produced from the Itrana variety in the Lazio region, crafted by the Quattrociocchi family. The olives are hand-harvested and cold-pressed on the same day, preserving maximum freshness, aroma, and high levels of nutrients such as polyphenols. The oil has an intense fruity aroma with subtle notes of green olive, green tomato, apple, leaf, and grass.
The flavor is well-balanced between bitterness and spiciness, with a smooth finish reminiscent of almond. Its color is golden-yellow with greenish hues, and its fresh, broad aroma makes it especially pleasant for tasting. Due to its characteristics, Olivastro is ideal for cold use—as a finishing touch on dishes like carpaccio, salads, bruschetta, seafood starters, grilled lamb, and medium-aged cheeses.
It can also be used moderately for short, high-temperature cooking.
