With Il D’Aragona bottles we take you to the flavors and atmospheres of 17th century Conversano among counts and knights, ladies and commoners. Here Count Giangirolamo II Acquaviva d’Aragona, known as “The One-Eyed Man of Puglia” due to the defect in one eye, governed his people and his land, and with generous donations contributed to improving the life of the farmers of his county. Among olive groves and rocky landscapes, where peasant life continues at the slow pace dictated by the rising sun, oil is the privileged witness of stories and legends. MULTICULTIVAR EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL (BLEND) A perfect harmony between the local olive varieties Olivastro, Cima di Mola, Leccino, Coratina, Cima di Melfi, Picholine, Simona and Nociara. This is how the extra virgin olive oil from Frantoio D’Orazio is born, with a light fruity flavour, enhanced by notes of leaves and grass. ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE Light fruity, enhanced by vegetal hints of freshly cut green grass, oregano and fresh almond. On the palate, bitter and spicy with light intensity in balance. PAIRINGS A light and fruity oil, the ideal condiment to enhance a dish without distorting or covering the flavors. We recommend it for boiled potatoes, mozzarella, rice soups, crudités, white meats, sauces, fennel cream soup, risottos, jam tarts, steamed and marinated fish.
