Olive Oil of the Month: Oleum Oleae Tenimenti di Ambroxiis

VeronaDeAmB

One Word: Exquisite (squisito!)

From the area of Valpolicella near to Verona, we present Oleum Oleae Tenimenti di Ambroxiis. We met Paolo in Veneto and were thrilled to be introduced to his perfect oil, an outstanding representation of the oils of Valpolicella.

This superior olive oil is a blend of the best Grignano, Leccino, Frantoio olives grown on the family farm in the territory of Verona. This is a beautiful representation of the hard to find olive oils of the region.

The exquisite oil is a yellow-gold with light tones of green. The aroma is lightly fruity as is typical of this zone of production. The taste opens sweet and progresses to a pleasantly lightly spicy finish.

Use raw as a finish to fish, vegetables, and risotto.
