TASTING NOTES:
There is an old Italian saying that it takes five ingredients to create the ideal habitat for olive trees: sun, stone, drought, silence, and solitude. Ferrari-Carano's 2008 Mountain Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a true reflection of the mountain terroir from where it originates. This particular olive oil is produced from five types of Italian olive trees: Frantoio, Leccino, Maurino, Moraioli and Pendolino. Our Olive Oil is unfiltered, resulting in a delicious, vibrant oil that is green-gold in color and fruity in flavor with a touch of spice.
PROCESSING NOTES:
Because olives do not ripen all at once, we hand-pick in the cold months of November and December to ensure quality. Just over 1,000 pounds of olives were transported to Sonoma's McEvoy Ranch, a leader in California's olive oil production, where the olives are stone milled using a twin-granite mill, then cold pressed. The olive oil is returned to Ferrari-Carano for storing and fining. Using gravity, the olive oil is racked twice over the course of three months to help remove any large olive matter.
OLIVE OIL USES:
Ferrari-Carano’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil may be used in endless ways in the kitchen, from appetizers and salads to main courses and desserts. Try one of Rhonda Carano’s favorite pasta recipes, Cappellini with Shrimp, Tomatoes and Arugula (recipe available at www.ferrari-carano.com) with Ferrari-Carano’s Mountain Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil for a nice touch.
