100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
High-quality oil obtained from the hand-picking of our olives grown in Umbria, at the foot of Perugia.
Here are some distinctive characteristics of 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil:
Olive Varieties
Umbria is famous for cultivating various olive varieties, including Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Dolce Agogia. These varieties contribute to creating an oil with a unique flavor profile.
Aroma and Flavor
Noemi's Extra Virgin Olive Oil is known for its rich and complex taste. It can have herbaceous, fruity, and spicy notes, with a slight bitterness. The aroma varies depending on the olive varieties used and the growing conditions.
Color
The oil ranges in color from green to golden yellow, depending on the ripeness of the olives at the time of harvest.
Production Method
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is obtained through cold extraction, meaning the olives are pressed at low temperatures to best preserve the flavors and nutrients.
Designation of Origin
In Umbria, you can produce 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but also Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), such as the "Colli Perugini" PDO. These designations ensure the origin and quality of the oil.
Culinary Uses
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is widely used in both Italian and international cuisine. It is perfect for dressing salads, vegetables, pasta dishes, meat, and fish. It can also be used as a base for sauces and marinades.
