Viola Nuovo Magnum 1.5L w/ Wooden Box
A farmer at heart, producer Marco Viola knows his olives as well as any other producer in the world. For the first harvest each year, Viola picks the best green Frantoio and Leccino olives to crush for their early harvest Nuovo olive oil. The result is an incredibly fresh and fragrant oil that captures the essence of the stony hills where these olives grow. With strong notes of artichoke and wild herbs, the fruity flavors rise to meet the boldness of the finish, which is slightly bitter with a spicy sensation that provides perfect balance.
It is ideal for traditional Umbrian dishes such as bruschetta and panzanella salad, or for tomato salad with oregano. It can be used to enhance chickpea cream with crayfish and kidney bean soup. It pairs very well with red tuna carpaccio and grilled Chianina meat, and it enhances focaccia bread with rosemary.
