From ITALY Redoro (extra virgin olive oil DOP Veneto) captures the amazing flavors from the acclaimed olives from the Garda area... a special spot -renown for its favorable climate+soils.
 |
| President of Redoro, Daniele Salvagno pours it on. The Olive Oil production process from hand to machine picked oils-to milling, malaxation, decanting, filtering, preserving and bottling reminds us of the intense labors required of the winemaking industry. |
 |
| This version of Redoro Olio Extra Vergine Di Oliva Biologico-earns the Italian Protected Designation of Origin-just like the finest wines! This version, non-GMO (naturally)-is a delicate oil-with subtle fruity flavors-ideal for every Mediterranean dish with olive oil on the ingredient list. Other versions of olive oil can be more intense-nutty or with bigger sweet fruity finish. And with slightly different smoke points-sauteed options abound. Interesting-how much the terroir -climate of olives-including the altitude of the trees-so impact the flavors of the many different types of olives. Widely available in the USA. |
