Extra Virgin Olive Oil
"Schiappa" 2011 Harvest (unfiltered)
Liter............$33.75
"Schiappa", in the Ligurian
dialect, refers to an oil of superlative quality because
it is from the first press of the taggiascha olive, pressed at
less than half the standard pressure of "extra virgin"
oils, is unfiltered , and results in an oil of uniquely
golden color and rich, buttery texture. |

From this tiny "frantoio"
[meaning "olive press" in Italian] on Italy's
Ligurian coast, the Armato family provides us with this intensely
fruity, first cold-pressed olive oil. As is characteristic
of the region, this exceedingly low acid oil offers a more delicate
and fruity alternative to its greener and more rustic Tuscan
counterpart. Following is a whole pantry of products which
naturally derive from their olive oil business. Please take a
moment to consider each of the items below and imagine how creative
you too could be if you had these wonderful products at your
fingertips. |
