Ligurian Riviera EVO oil: olive baring is festive occasion, a testament to its importance in Liguria

Ligurian Riviera extra virgin olive oil: the characteristics

Ligurian Riviera Extra Virgin Olive Oil is fruity and light, fragrant with a delicate flavor.
It is the result of the perseverance of our ancestors who wanted to produce it with great determination. In fact, they were the ones who tried to create the space for cultivation in the hills of our hinterland.

Extra virgin olive oil produced from Taggiasca olives is the most typical, with a very delicate flavor. Here you can feel the influence of the sea and the mountains, which metaphorically teaches us what can be born with passion and determination.

EVO oil from the Rivera Ligure: a mainstay of the Mediterranean Diet.

Extra virgin olive oil is a mainstay of the Mediterranean Diet and is a true panacea for our health because it has top-notch nutritional properties.
It consists of 99 percent lipids and is rich in fat-soluble vitamins, which are essential for our bodies, and polyphenols, which have antioxidant action.
It should preferably be consumed raw in an amount of 2 to 3 tablespoons per day, as it is very caloric.
The difference between olive oil and extra virgin olive oil lies in the pressing technique and the oleic acid content, which is lower in EVO oil.
For frying, it is definitely better than seed oil, as it withstands high temperatures.

We use only Ligurian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced in an ancient oil mill in Toirano, for the preparation of our Fresh Pesto.
This is another reason why our Fresh Pesto has an exquisitely Ligurian flavor.
