Moraiolo is a variety (cultivar) of olive originally from Tuscany, but widespread throughout Central Italy. The olive is round in shape and, when ripe, turns black with violet hues.

In 2018, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. agency responsible for food and drug control, promoted the Moraiolo, along with 5 other cultivars worldwide, to medicinal food status due to its exceptional amount of polyphenols and other elements. These components, when combined, provide anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-aggregating properties, recommending a daily intake of two tablespoons.

Characteristics

The Organic Monocultivar Moraiolo is a highly prized oil, rich in green and balsamic notes.
Its intense green color stands out, while on the nose, a persistent vegetal note with aromas of artichoke leaves and toasted dried fruit emerges.
On the palate, it starts with a balanced bitter note that transitions into light spiciness with warmth, creating a decisively balanced flavor.

    Tasting Notes

    At first taste, it presents a balanced bitter note that, with warmth, transitions into light spiciness, creating a decidedly harmonious flavor. On the nose, a persistent vegetal note is present, with aromas of artichoke leaves and toasted dried fruit.

    Due to these characteristics, it is an oil that pairs easily with many dishes, but perhaps finds its best combinations with vegetable dishes, grilled meats, radicchio, bitter greens, sautéed vegetable pasta, rustic vegetable pizzas, and also with oily grilled fish, grilled octopus, both for cooking and for raw use.

    É un olio ottimo sia per utilizzo in cottura che a crudo, facilmente abbinabile a molte pietanze, ma che trova i migliori accostamenti a:

    • Piatti di verdure
    • Carni grigliate
    • Radicchi ed erbe amare
    • Paste secche con verdure ripassate
    • Pesci oleosi alla griglia
