L’oro verde: l’olio usato dai gourmet e dai grandi chef
|
If there is a challenge with culture and knowledge of oil, the solution comes from chefs and cooks. There are no better testimonials for a quality oil or its correct use. For this reason, TuttoTonda has always garnered the attention of chefs. This year, prompted by the new law that requires the use of bottles with a special stopper that blocks the refilling of the bottles, we have created a special line following the regulations.
- Bottles come in a 0.25 L size that is convenient and small enough to guarantee fast consumption and freshness of the oil
- Anti-refill stopper that protects against the sanctions allowed by the new law.
- A product specifically for chefs searching for the latest: Tonda+, a blend of the Tonda Iblea and Olivastro, the wild olive that grows in the most rugged lands. We have produced only a few bottles, just enough to see if we have taken the right direction. It will be up to our chef friends whether we continue this experiment…

TONDA+
Olivastro & tonda iblea varietals
ORGANOLEPTIC QUALITIES: Fruity, green and very intense. Aroma: Fruity hints of tomato leaves, fresh cut grass and artichoke. Taste: Strong flavor with intense spicyness, but complex and well balanced; Recommended combinations: Goes well with oregano, capers, olives, tomatoes, bruschetta, basil, mint, garlic, sundried tomatoes, legumes, raw artichokes, pasta with vegetables and fish, shellfish, oven baked fish as well as served raw etc. It will be at its best when used on raw cutlets of fish or on pasta with sea urchins and langoustines. After being extracted, the oil is kept in stainless steel tanks with a controlled temperature between 13° e 15°C and without any oxygen. The oil does not get filtered, instead it is left to decant naturally. The oil is poured regularly and only put into bottles when orders come in. This method allows the oil to maintain its chemical and organoleptic qualities, unaltered by the passage of time.
