(1) - Olivestri Siloro Olio Nuovo, 500 ml
Visit their Website: Casa de Case
For a precious few weeks after crushing, olive oil is wonderful pungent, hot-peppery, and has an intensely fruity quality. This is called olio nuovo, literally "new oil". All of Italy celebrates the olio nuovo with festivals in the frantoio (olive mill), and bottles of the intense oil appear in every restaurant.
This olio nuovo has a very special character. The color is intensely green and the aroma and taste are like fresh olives. Soft and creamy, elegant and supple, the finish has a complex nutty quality with a good kick without being bitter. This nuovo is very versatile; you can even use it as is on salads, just as the chefs did at the dinner they prepared in Umbria for the Vestri family and friends. Or use this rare treat on roasted & grilled meats & fish, sautéed vegetables, hearty soups, earthy cheeses, & of course, in all your pasta sauces.
Olio Nuovo is the just-pressed olive oil bottled as soon as it is comes from the press
Regular olive oil goes into a settling tank for a month or so before bottling to allow all the particular matter in the oil to settle to the bottom; then the oil is drawn from the top; then it is further filtered in pure cotton (or left as is if the producer wants to produce unfiltered oil).
The new pressed oil very special and rare: it is only available for a short time once a year just after the oil is pressed it loses the qualities that make it unique as time causes oxidation and mellowing of the oil.
This oil is air freighted in from Italy so that people can enjoy real olio nuovo.
