Tibvrtini Olio Novello Olive Oil Review
If you love the delicious flavor of Tibvrtini olive oil, you're just going to love this fresh off the press Olio Novello. Picked and pressed at the end of October, Tibvrtini Olio Novello is a one-a-year treat for the palate. Typically the new oil is stored for 2 to 3 months to allow it to mellow and clarify. During the harvest it is traditional for the pickers and pressers to have a celebration for the new oil, which bold and aggressive right off the press, and this means plenty of food finished with the peppery green liquid.This oil named TIBVRTINI springs from trees growing on the ancient land of Villa Adriana - the Villa of the Roman Emperor Hadrian located in Tivoli built between 115 and 135 A.D. The Villa is located in the small but exceptional olive-growing region near Rome, in the region of Lazio. The trees are most likely descendants of the olive groves that grew there during the period of ancient Rome. TIBVRTINI Oil is from the first cold pressing of freshly hand picked olives - a combination of both green and ripe organically grown olives. The mill is located just below the hills of Tivoli, adjacent to the famous Roman travertine quarries. The olive varieties that give this non-filtered oil its distinctive, delicate, and complex flavor include Brocanica (grown exclusively in Tivoli with possible origins in Egypt), Montanese, Oliva Dolce, Romana, Carboncella, and Rosciola - grown using organic methods. The flavor of this medium weight oil from Tivoli in Lazio never ceases to amaze me year after year. Read more...
