A different look at olive oil with Riccolivo
Olive oil tasting is similar to wine tasting: Like wines, olive oil comes in a wide variety of flavors and aromas.
Riccolivo Light has a light flavor - not too strong or too bitter. It is more suitable for lightly spiced dishes where intense olive oil flavor is not desired.
Riccolivo Light has a smooth and buttery flavor, you will notice a fruity on the nose and a slightly peppery finish that is not bitter on the mouth.
We are used to seeing different grades of olive oil, extra virgin olive oil is the best quality olive oil. But it is a lesser known fact that extra virgin olive oil also comes in three different densities – light, balanced and strong.
Balanced extra virgin olive oil is olive oil ground from olives picked mid-harvest to offer the perfect balance of fruitiness and pungency. It is the perfect choice for dishes, sauces, salads, soups and pastries that require cooking or sauteing
Unlike light olive oils, strong olive oils have intense flavors and aromas and a peppery finish.
For Riccolivo Strong, we carefully select fresh and early harvested green olives. Riccolivo Strong has a bold and assertive taste, an aroma reminiscent of freshly cut grass, and a peppery and persistent bitterness.
We use freshly picked and unripe olives to ensure the fruity flavor of Riccolivo Fruity. The oil may carry flavors and aromas such as green apple, apricot, pineapple or unripe banana.
This oil is light but fragrant and has a smooth, delicate finish. It can be drizzled over fish, steaks, soups, mashed potatoes, tomatoes, grilled vegetables or salads.
Riccolivo Grassy is an extra virgin olive oil with the intense green fruity aroma of freshly cut grass, accompanied by a delicious peppery flavor.
It has a herbaceous aroma with notes of vegetables (you may encounter notes of unripe tomato, eggplant, artichoke). Bitterness and pepperiness are balanced.
You can pair Riccolivo Grassy with salads, potatoes, grilled fish, soups and recipes with tomato sauce.
