Description
Carefully crafted
Intenso
Made exclusively from shy-bearing Nocellara del Belice olives, harvested early, just when the fruit start turning to light straw yellow/green and might have a light rose-coloured blush in some cases. Intensely fruity with distinctive green herbaceous aroma, redolent of green tomato and artichoke, fresh bitter taste, and persistent pepperiness reminiscent of green capsaicin.
Uses
All medium and strong tasting dishes. Excellent with carpaccios, barbecued or braised red meats, game birds, sauces, firmly-fleshed fish, tomato dishes and salads, bean and leaf-based salads, pasta, baked cheese dishes, risottos, fruit and berry salads, in baking (flourless olive oil chocolate cake!), and with cheese boards, from the full-flavoured to delicate ricottas.
