Description

Farchioni Il Casolare Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1L) is an authentic, rustic Italian olive oil crafted by master millers through cold extraction. Unlike clear, industrially filtered oils, Il Casolare remains completely unrefined and unfiltered (Grezzo), leaving microscopic particles of olive fruit suspended within the oil.

This traditional bottling method captures the true essence of freshly pressed olives, creating a full-bodied texture, a cloudy emerald-gold hue, and a distinctive fragrance celebrated by culinary professionals worldwide—including recognition at the Great Taste Awards 2024.

Flavor Profile & Unfiltered Character

• Authentic Unfiltered Purity: Retains natural olive pulp fibers and cloudiness, delivering higher concentrations of active polyphenols and vitamins compared to heavily stripped filtered alternatives.

• Bold, Fruity & Peppery: Fresh grassy aroma on the nose, opening to a rich, round fruitiness on the tongue with a pleasant, throat-tingling peppery kick indicative of genuine high-polyphenol EVOO.

• First Cold Mechanical Extraction: Processed at strictly controlled temperatures below 27°C without solvents, heat degradation, or artificial additives.

• Heritage Swing-Top Bottle: Bottled in an embossed, octagonal glass bottle equipped with a traditional wire swing-top hermetic seal that keeps air out and seals flavor in after every pour.

Suggested Culinary Uses

• Rustic Bread Dipping: Pour into a dipping bowl with sea salt crystals, fresh oregano, and cracked black pepper for fresh rustic sourdough or warm ciabatta.

• Finishing Raw Dishes: Drizzle generously over beef or tuna carpaccio, Caprese salads, grilled vegetables, burrata, and heirloom tomatoes.

• Pasta & Risotto Enhancer: Swirl a spoonful into hot soups, minestrone, Tuscan bean stews, or pasta al dente just before serving to add gloss and aromatics.

• Artisan Marinades & Dressings: Whisk with balsamic vinegar of Modena and fresh garlic for rich, herbaceous vinaigrettes.
