Affiorato Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Puglia is made from an old traditional technique of the same name, 'affiorato'. The olive tree is extremely resilient, yet the olive itself is very delicate and the process called affiorato ensures minimal harm to this precious fruit while capturing the incredible flavour. After crushing, the producer waits for the oil to surface (affiorare). The 'floating' oil is skill fully collected in special jugs by hand and then bottled.
This rich and dense Italian extra virgin olive oil is a true delight to the senses, adding texture and silky flavor to any recipe. Use it to season salads, to drizzle over roasted or grilled vegetables, fish or meats, or simply savor with bruschetta or toast with a good aceto balsamico.
