2022 Sassicaia Ekstra Jomfru Olivenolie Tenuta San Guido

There is an olive oil for every taste, determined by the geographical origin of the oil. As a guideline, the warmer the climate, the gentler, milder, more elegant, buttery and sweeter the oil. In contrast, a colder climate will produce more characterful flavours such as pepper, fruit and grass. Olive oil is one of the most important ingredients in Italian cuisine. The oil is used not only for frying and deep-frying, but also as a substitute for the sauce tradition of northern European cuisine. Therefore, Italians have extremely high standards for their olive oil, preferring to use cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, which is the finest quality, and in this category we find Sassicaia's olive oil.
