Coratina finishing extra virgin olive oil
Description
Coratina is an extra virgin olive oil produced from a single carefully selected plot, chosen for its terroir, exposure, and exceptional potential. Harvested early from still-green olives, it yields less oil, but delivers remarkable quality. Naturally rich in polyphenols — around 600 mg/kg — it stands out for its fluid texture, aromatic intensity, and abundance of natural antioxidants. We recommend using it as a finishing oil to preserve all its freshness, flavour, and precious benefits.
Description
For our new finishing oil, we have chosen the queen of Puglia: the Coratina. An iconic variety from the birthplace of Italian olive oil—and the Favuzzi family’s region of origin—the Coratina is celebrated for its vibrant character and exceptional richness.
Usage
Coratina is a finishing olive oil: an oil of such exceptional quality, naturally rich in polyphenols, that we prefer adding it at the very end to preserve its aromas and fully enjoy its benefits.
Just a drizzle is enough to elevate your dishes right before serving: tomatoes, burrata, grilled vegetables, pasta, fish, eggs, or soups. Its intense aromas, elegant bitterness, and peppery finish are at their best when enjoyed raw, where they enhance and amplify the flavours of the dish.
It can also be used for cooking without any problem, like any excellent extra virgin olive oil. But to get the most out of its aromatic richness and high polyphenol content, we recommend using it as a finishing oil, after cooking.
Distinctive Features
Made from early harvests, our oil stands out for its remarkable intensity, high polyphenol concentration, and fluid texture. The olives are picked and pressed quickly, preserving all the freshness and aromatic power of the fruit.
Designed for finishing, it reveals intense aromas of artichoke and almond, with a lingering and pleasantly piquant finish. A true explosion of flavors, capable of instantly elevating both simple and refined dishes.
