Description
PRODUCT
Our Olio extravergine di oliva is characterised by its very low acidity and has a taste different to anything you’ve tried before! Our extra virgin olive oil is made by simply crushing olives and then extracting the juice. No chemicals, no industrial refining. And on top of this it contains more healthy nutrients than any other oil.
No wonder our Italian Mammas look so fit and healthy!
This product is suitable for vegans and is made without conservatives.
PRODUCER
Gabriele and his family business Azienda Agricola Petrarulo from the small town of Lavello in Basilicata have been growing food for generations. Gabriele learned the art of cultivating food from his father and taught it on to his sons.
The family’s olive trees are treated according to the old local traditions, meaning without pesticides and chemicals. The farmers also personally take care of the olive harvest and supervise the (cold) pressing in order to ensure the highest quality of oil!

MAMMA’S TIPS
Store your oil in a place where it is protected from light and heat. And don’t forget: olive oil does not improve with age, so don’t hoard it – use it!
Treat your olive oil as you treat your wines, carefully pairing its taste with the flavours of the other ingredients in your dishes.
When cooking with oil keep the heat low to avoid losing flavour or worse, burning it.
Taste the oil by dipping a piece of white bread in it or just slurp it. Look for fruity, bitter and peppery sensations. All three indicate a fresh and nutritious quality.
ALLERGENS
Our Olio extravergine di oliva do not contain any allergens.
