Flavor: Bursts of fresh basil with a gentle bitterness and hints of licorice.
Uses: Screams for caprese salad. Excellent on risotto and asparagus. Try it on a watermelon and feta salad for a surprising twist.
About the producer
Originally from Italy, The Coldani family has been farming the San Joaquin Valley for over 90 years and employing a technique practiced in their ancestral homeland: pressing whole fruits in the mill with the olives. This approach allows the pure essence of the fruit to shine through in a way that simply infusing olive oil could never achieve.
The modern planting and machine-harvesting techniques utilized at Coldani Olive Ranch allow harvest to occur at optimum fruit maturity for flavor and freshness. These fresh olives are then milled within hours of harvest using state-of-the-art cold-temperature extraction technology to ensure a clean and unadulterated oil. All of their olives and fruit are organically and sustainably estate grown from their family owned and operated farm.
I am obsessed with this oil. I look for ways to use it every day. This is my second bottle in 30 days. It is a splurge, but so well worth it. Go for it You will love it too!.
