ElOlivo Review - Quattrociocchi Superbo Bio Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500ml) - 100% Moraiolo:
As its name suggests this is a magnificent oil with intense fruitiness. Perfect green aromas such as grass olive leaf and lettuce with some artichoke and notes of bitter almond. This is a strong oil for sure. At tasting it is a bit sweet in the beginning, then you will feel the green aromas along with the bitterness. Followed then by a kick from the spiciness with a vegetable and bitter almond aftermath. In terms of aromas and taste, everything is ten times stronger than usual. It is like fireworks in your mouth, with colours and shapes everywhere. We use it raw and also cook with it, mostly pasta dishes, it is beautiful with vegetables or fish. We love it with oven-baked mackerels. You just need some fresh mackerel from your local fishmonger, sea salt, black pepper, some lemon, and the Superbo. Simple and amazing. We think it is one of the strongest oils we have in the shop so far. We're sure you will be blown away by its strong aromas and taste.

ElOlivo Review - Quattrociocchi Olivastro Bio Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500ml) - 100% Itrana:
One of the best monovarietal olive oils made from the Itrana variety. Its aromas are tomato, green banana, artichoke, celery, green apple and green herbs. For us the aroma of fresh basil is distinguished. At tasting the fruitiness is outstanding with medium to high bitterness and medium spiciness. This oil is perfectly balanced with notes of green almond at the end. What can we say? This oil is perfect and we love it. If somebody asks us what a perfect Itrana olive oil tastes like, we would give them a bottle of Quattroqiocchi Olivastro. We use it only raw. We drizzle it on our roast potatoes, steaks, and pasta. The list is endless. Simply amazing taste.

ElOlivo Review - Viola Il Sincero Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500ml) - 100% Moraiolo:
Il Sincero means; the sincere. You will understand its name when you taste this oil. It has nothing to hide strong intense vegetable aromas with green herbs and with notes of mint. If you taste the oil first you will notice the thistle followed by notes of almond and black pepper. Then get ready for a strong spiciness and pungency. Rich aromas and strong taste, you will notice it from the moment you open a bottle of Il Sincero. The more than 100 years of hard work and commitment of the Viola Family resulted in this beautiful oil. We use it only raw. It is perfect with any roast vegetable or any meat dish. It is also amazing with stronger cheeses such as Gorgonzola. Must try category!
