Description

Basso Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1L) represents over a century of Italian olive oil crafting tradition from San Michele di Serino, Italy (established 1904). Extracted through mechanical cold processing without chemical refinement or excessive heat, this premium EVOO retains its natural olive essence, golden-green clarity, and wholesome nutritional integrity.

Celebrated for its well-rounded, versatile flavor, it provides a harmonious balance between mild fruitiness, green vegetal notes, and a subtle peppery finish—making it a dependable pantry staple for both everyday family meals and refined gourmet cooking.

Flavor Profile & Culinary Performance

• Harmonious Aroma & Taste: Fresh and fruity on the nose with hints of green herbs and ripe olives; smooth and buttery on the palate with a gentle, characteristic peppery finish.

• Cold Extracted Purity: Mechanically cold-extracted below 27°C, ensuring optimal preservation of monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), vitamin E, and natural polyphenols.

• Everyday Versatility: Stable enough for gentle sautéing, marinades, and pan-roasting, yet rich enough to serve as an exceptional raw finishing oil.

• Protective Dark Glass: Bottled in custom dark glass featuring an embossed olive pattern that protects sensitive unrefined lipids against light degradation and oxidation.

Suggested Uses & Recipe Pairings

• Dipping & Crudités: Pour into a shallow dish with cracked black pepper, sea salt, and aged balsamic vinegar for crusty artisan sourdough or warm focaccia.

• Fresh Salads & Dressings: Emulsify with Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic for crisp garden salads, Caprese, and grain bowls.

• Finishing Drizzle: Spoon over grilled vegetables, oven-baked fish, warm pasta dishes, risottos, and hearty minestrone soup just before serving.

• Marinades: Combine with Mediterranean herbs, rosemary, and citrus zest to tenderize poultry, meats, and seafood before grilling.
