Tunna Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Description

Tunna – Olio Delicato is a truly delicate extra virgin olive oil. Its taste is a surprise in the Sicilian hinterland, being very delicate and fragrant. Tasting it, one has the sensation of walking on a field of grass on a summer afternoon

For a long time, the Tonda Iblea was an olive exclusively for the table but only recently has it also begun to be used for the production and sale of monocultivar extra virgin olive oil. It is an oil that has a set of typically Sicilian flavors. First of all there is a rather intense olive fruitiness, accompanied by a bouquet of very varied scents such as tomato, almond, artichoke, cut grass and aromatic herbs. The taste is very harmonious and sees the presence mainly of sweet and spicy, while the bitterness is very light.

The color is green-gold, while the overall acidity is very low. On the other hand, the content of polyphenols and vitamin E is rich. On the market, the sale of extra virgin olive oil of the Tonda Iblea cultivar is aimed at a very varied public who prefer to prepare vegetables or meat or fish dishes in the kitchen. Not very suitable for the preparation of salads or tomato sauces, it is instead excellent for seasoning first courses with seafood sauce, or second courses based on raw fish.

The olives for this oil are harvested in the final part of October and cold ground in a continuous cycle mill, then left to decant.

Tunna – Delicate Oil is fragrant and intense in its sweet scent. It is an oil rich in scents of grass and flowers.

In his style, the tentacles of the goddess Ceto, the mythological divinity of marine creatures in the mythology of the Mediterranean sea, were chosen. This symbolism indicates unexpected appeal, but also a good culinary hint as to what kind of dishes to use Tunna.
