Did you know that a good Extra Virgin Olive Oil naturally enriches your dishes with spicy scents?
In addition to be full of vitamins, antioxidants, polyphenols and good fats, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the most widely used and appreciated condiments in the Mediterranean diet.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the most important product of the Mediterranean diet because:
- it lowers “bad” cholesterol (LDL) by fighting the risk of cardiovascular disease
- it’s rich in antioxidants that defend our body from premature ageing: a true “anti-ageing” effect
In the Mediterranean diet is often used raw on meat, fish and vegetable dishes (raw, cooked or grilled), pasta, soups and more. Extra Virgin Olive Oil gives flavours and enriches your dishes with fruity and spicy scents.
The spicy scents of a top-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil come from the polyphenols that are naturally contained in it.
Polyphenols are organic molecules very important for the health of the body
In addition to give spiciness, polyphenols:
- Fight cellular ageing
- Are natural anti infiammatory and anti viral
- Regulate the absorption of “bad” cholesterol
These functions are essentials to keep the body in good health. These functions cannot be found, for example, in hot and spicy sauces, used like a condiment for salads, meats, etc. The spiciness in these very elaborated sauces (ketchup, mustard, tabasco, etc.) comes from additives. They also contain preservatives and dyes, that are very dangerous for your health.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, on the other hand, naturally flavors and gives spiciness to your dishes. So why not try to get the same spicy feeling in a completely natural way and taking care of your health?
Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil “Il Calancolle” is the proof of this. You will taste scents of tomato, thyme, herbs and green apple. Slightly spicy, Il Calancolle will give an extra touch of spiciness to your dishes.
We recommend it raw on a warm Bruschetta.
Don’t forget that to have more intense taste, you can pair Extra Virgin Olive Oil “Il Calancolle” with one of our Balsamic Vinegar! To have a higher aroma, we suggest our Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.G.I. “Cherry”, aged for 8 years in fine cherry wood barrels.
