"Generoso" (Generous)

Our product of excellence, Genoroso is an unfiltered, generously fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil that embodies the scent and flavour of the hills that surround our hometown of Perugia. Generous in its unmistakable scent of freshly pressed olives and medium-intense fruitiness, Generoso is obtained from olives of the Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Dolce Agogia cultivars which grow in chalky soil with a stony, clay surface between 300 and 600 meters above sea level. The olives are hand-picked and harvested early in the season when ripe between late-October and early-November. The cold extraction of this oil takes place within 12 hours of the olive harvest, using our state-of-the-art Alfalaval X4 continuous cycle machines. These factors give Generoso oil its unique characteristics: low acidity, a low content of peroxides and a very high content of polyphenols, with a naturally opaque appearance and a moderate tangy-spicy taste.

PAIRINGS: Generoso is excellent served raw as a condiment on grilled meats, grilled vegetables, bruschetta, legume soups and wherever a strong taste is required.
