Affiorato Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Puglia is made using an ancient 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 skillfully 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, providing a buttery texture and fresh, 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 drizzled with a good aceto balsamico.
