Roberto Cerrequio of Tenuta Sant’Ilario uses top pressing and harvesting technology to produce award winning olive oils that stand out in polyphenol content, flavor, and longevity. His creative flair also brings to market these handy single does packs that allow for high quality olive oil ready to use on grab-and-go salads, for hikers and boaters, and for impromptu tasting parties. Rarely has high quality olive oil been paired with this easy to carry and tasting-friendly format.

 

Included in these sets are three packets of each of the following varietals of olive oil:

Dritta a medium fruity olive oil with strong hints of green almond, a touch of grass and artichoke leaf. Balanced by a light bitterness.

 

Intosso a nearly extinct varietal from the Abruzzo region, prized for its large fruit and small seed. This oil has a fruit-forward flavor and layered aroma of olive leaf and thistle it ends with spice and black pepper.

 

Leccio del Corno intense in flavor and aroma. Flavors of bitter almond and artichoke, with a fruity finish and strong aromas of freshly picked, unripe olives.     

 

Tortiglione an ancient olive variety that is widespread in the areas of Teramo and part of Pescara. The name “tortiglione”, or twisted, comes from its clockwise swirled trunk. This varietal is a part of Slow Food’s Ark of Taste and is not a variety suited to mechanical harvesting, very much tied to traditional manual olive harvest. Intense, grassy and spicy.

 

Use each oil for specific food pairings or host a mozzarella party to explore your own flavor feelings.

 

Try Dritta on a caprese salad, Intosso for sauteeing and in soups, Leccino di corno on roasted vegetables or seafood, and Tortiglione on a grilled steak. Mix and match for your cooking inspirations!
