Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Veneto Valpolicella Bonamini

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Veneto Valpolicella Bonamini

Multi-awarded in major Italian and international oil competitions, this bottling represents the flagship of the Frantoio Bonamini. Production from the fruit of some 6,500 trees planted on terraces and hillsides just north of Verona where the cooler climate and native varieties Grignan and Favarol yield a sublime olive oil with delicate green fruit and vegetable flavors that allow for this oil to be slathered on just about anything, but it excels on seafood risotto, pesce crudo, vegetable pasta, roasted chicken, salads and even lemon gelato.

$24.99 the 500ml bottle



Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Tenuta delle Terre Nere

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Biologico Tenuta delle Terre Nere

There is no such thing as «the best olive oil». And I would never say that ours is the best. I will, however, say that some may and do care for their trees and olives as much as we do, but none more than us. All our trees are organically raised and kept, the soil around them tilled and tilled again; all expertly pruned every two years. The olives are all hand picked, and every day’s harvest cold pressed every evening. The oil is then left to naturally decant until February/March and is bottled without filtering. Our volcanic soils confer sweetness and finesse to it, and a lovely bouquet. The cold nights inhibit our fruit's worst enemy, the olive fly. The result is an outstanding Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Costs are very high. We lose a little money every year. Someday soon I hope to break even. It doesn’t really matter that much, especially when you see the newly pressed gold/green olive oil gushing free from the press. Some things just have to be done. - Marco de Grazia, paraphrased from www.tenutaterrenere.com

Azeite do Alentejo Interior DOP Olive Oil Jose Gourmet

Azeite do Alentejo Interior DOP Olive Oil Jose Gourmet

The production of olive oil in the Alentejo region is lost in the memory of time — Romans, Visigoths and Arabs produced olive oil here — it is thought that, even before the presence of these peoples in the region, olive oil was already produced here. Portel, where this olive oil comes from, is one of the municipalities that produce the olive oil from Alentejo Interior DOP. Its typically yellowish color, oscillating between golden or greener hues, is associated with the flavors and aromas of the cultivars Galega Vulgar, Cordovil de Serpa and Cobrançosa.

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva da Sicilia Bi-Ce-Mu Azienda Agricola il Censo

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva da Sicilia Bi-Ce-Mu Azienda Agricola il Censo

A well balanced, organically cultivated olive oil, Il Censo is the product of three different olive varietals. The pale green Biancolilla olive contributes body and a delicate fruit flavor while the Ceresuola lends spice and distinct olive aromatics mixed with notes of almond and hay. The Murtiddara olive is truly rare and almost extinct, but when cultivated successfully, lends complexity and depth with elements of ripe pear, cut grass and green tomatoes. The resulting “BI-CE-MU” olive oil from this powerful triumvirate is a bold and delicious revelation boasting a rich, green/gold hue. Available in limited supply.
