Organic Olive Oil

Cerquepapa
Villa della Genga organic extra virgin Cerquepapa is the tradition olive oil. Produced since 1820 it possesses the noblest features of the olive oil typical of this fortunate part of Umbria. Here, the olive oil comes from a genuine organic oasis, where the purity of the air and environment, untouched by use of chemicals, gives very high added value to the genuineness of the fruits of this land. The particular climatic conditions allow the olives to ripe slowly and then they are picked by hand when their colour starts to change.
With 80% Moraiolo, 10% of Frantoio and 10% Leccino Cerquepapa, our olive oil represents centuries of evolution of an high-end product.
Criytallin and dense, of a golden green. The olfattive impact is of an outstanding intensity. It boasts extensive aromas from the green banana to the smith apple, to the tomatoes. The taste is very strong and structured, with the bitter of thistle and sage on top; it closes with a slight spicy aftertaste. Finally, it is a pleasant balance between persistent and fragrant.
On cold Farfalle with zucchini and capers or a shrimps and vegetables warm salad. Ideal on all legumes*.

Leccino
Among the three oils it is the most delicate and less intense in the mouth but still very rich in scent - crystallin of an emerald green color. The scent is fruity with hints of lawnmowed grass and walnut. The spicy-bitter aftertaste combines the cardoons and the nut of the green apple.
This olive oil with its particular features is a collector's item and it is in full development.
To combine without any doubt to boiled meat, or on tuna and swordfish steamed fillets.
A must to taste.

Moraiolo
Crystalline, dense and yellowish green. Linear and pleasant, intense and fine aromas: a net vegetal scent from the tomato plant leaf. The taste is intense and quite nicely structured; it marks the mouth with a sweetness reminiscent of pine nuts, due to the processing of the olives' pulp, after being pitted. Its ending is balanced, fine and complex and it is certainly to be considered still in development.
Use it raw with spaghetti, tomatoes and swordfish or over a papaya, grapefruit and tomato salad. Ideal for bruschetta with vegetables.

Frantoio
Its look comunicates excellent promise, which is then confirmed in subsequent tests: crystalline, dense, and a vivid emerald green color. At the nose it proves itself intense and with nice reminescences of sweet almond. The flavor is intense and structured, marked by great sweetness, and memories of dried fruit. Overall, it is fine, fragrant persitente sufficiently balanced in the ending.
Unbeatable to prepare a stuffed turkey breast as well as a salad dressing for a cold Farro salad. It tastes great on a slice of grilled tuna.
