Firriato’s olives are collected in the period from October to November , by hand, using the technique of hand nibbling : a highly accurate system that helps ensure a greater finiteness of oil that is extracted. The fruits are harvested in fact the peak of their ripeness : a raw material integrates into its components and organoleptic ready for the grinding that takes place with the traditional system of pressing roller stone . This technique does not alter the characteristics of the final product, but rather enhances the naturalness and richness. Firriato’s Olive Oil occurs when tasted with a cloudy appearance and a jade green color with golden reflections . The nose has a distinct olive green aroma with herbaceous and fruity on the palate with a slightly bitter and spicy aftertaste , typical of Cerasuola . Wonderful flavor to dishes where the delicate flavor of the sea is predominant. Ideal for salads , Firriato’s Olive Oil is a worthy companion for the preparation of tomato sauce, must- Mediterranean cuisine.
