ElOlivo Review:

The Superbo of this year is absolutely delightful! It's no surprise, given the consistently fantastic taste that the Quattrociocchi family always brings to the table. This oil boasts lovely green aromas of olives, fresh grass, olive leaves, and a hint of lettuce, with subtle vegetable notes and a touch of bitter almond. On the palate, it's a burst of rich vegetable flavors with distinct herbaceous notes. And oh my, its bitterness and spiciness are quite a delightful surprise! This oil isn't for the faint-hearted - it's bold and full of character. We love using it both raw and for cooking, especially in pasta dishes. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables and fish, making oven-baked mackerel a real treat. Just a few simple ingredients - fresh mackerel, sea salt, black pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and the Superbo - create magic. It's simple yet absolutely amazing. We're pretty confident you'll fall head over heels for its intense aromas and flavors!
