Monovarietal extra virgin olive oil "TAGGIASCA" Giulio Auricchia

EVO OIL - Monovarietal extra virgin olive oil "TAGGIASCA" 

The extra virgin olive oil from the Ligurian company Giulio Auricchia is born in the heart of the Riviera, where the scent of the sea meets that of the olive groves climbing the sun-kissed hillsides. It is made exclusively from Taggiasca olives, an ancient and precious variety that stands as an undisputed symbol of Ligurian excellence. Every drop of this oil encapsulates the history and passion of a land that has cherished the art of olive cultivation for centuries, as one of its most treasured traditions.
To the eye, it reveals a luminous and iridescent hue, shifting gracefully from a warm golden yellow to a delicate, brilliant green. It is like watching a sunset over the Ligurian hills—the light changes, the reflections dance in the glass, telling the story of an authentic product, born from nature and refined by human craftsmanship.
Bringing the glass closer to the nose, one is enveloped by an elegant and harmonious bouquet. The aromas are delicate yet deep, a perfect balance of sweet almond, fresh artichoke, and subtle notes of Mediterranean herbs — rosemary, thyme, and basil — evoking the fragrance of the coastal landscape. It is a sensory journey that recalls the salty sea breeze, the warmth of sun-baked stones, and the tranquil charm of the small villages overlooking the sea.
On the palate, the oil reveals all its finesse and complexity. The first impression is smooth, sweet, and fruity, with a rounded texture that caresses the mouth and invites another taste. Then, in perfect harmony, emerge livelier, more decisive notes, with a slightly bitter and peppery aftertaste — the hallmark of a high-quality, well-balanced extra virgin olive oil. Its flavor lingers clean and persistent, enhancing every dish without ever overpowering it.
In the kitchen, Taggiasca extra virgin olive oil is a precious and versatile ally. Its refined delicacy makes it ideal for drizzling raw over fresh salads, grilled vegetables, or fish and meat carpaccio, adding a touch of elegance and authenticity. It is an essential ingredient in the traditional Genoese pesto, where it blends harmoniously with basil, pine nuts, and Parmigiano Reggiano to create a symphony of flavors that captures the essence of Liguria.
Even when used in cooking, this oil stands out for its stability and resistance to heat, preserving its sensory qualities intact. It is perfect for light sautés, delicate roasts, and baked dishes, imparting a silky texture and an aroma that speaks of tradition, nature, and uncompromising quality.
