Trampetti Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a green/yellow color with golden reflections, fruity reminiscent of vegetables and fruit fragrance. The Flavour is bitter and hot, harmonized. Used raw, this olive oil is a perfect condiment.
Area of Provenance
Umbria is a compact region at the core of the peninsula, and it is known as the green heart of Italy. Its attractions include the art and architecture of its hill towns, Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Spoleto and Todi, among them, and the legends of its many saints, led by Francis of Assisi. But connoisseurs also know that nowhere in Italy are the pleasures of country cooking and local wines offered more graciously than in Umbria.
Since the region has no access to the sea, its peoples, beginning with the ancient Umbri and Etruscans who inhabited territories on opposite sides of the Tiber River, have always relied on the generosity of the land. There are few secrets to Umbrian cooking, other than the native's insistence or obsession, really, on home-grown produce: fresh vegetables and fruit, dense green olive oil, roast meats, poultry and game, pecorino cheese and the herbs, greens and mushrooms that grow spontaneously on wooded hillsides.
