[12211] FOI - Italiaanse olijfolie ext. vergine 5L

This 100% Italian olive oil has a greenish-yellow colour and the fresh aroma of newly cut grass. Its flavour is fruity and slightly bitter, with a herbal aftertaste. The olive oil contains a blend of Frantoio and Leccino (central Italy: Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio) and Coratina and Peranza (Puglia). Suitable for salads, dressings or making herb dips.

This olive oil is made in a historic mill in Umbria, near San Feliciano. Since 1890, the family has processed olives from the hills surrounding Lake Trasimeno. Current owners Alessio Tambone and Michela Niccolini began pressing olives in 2013, selecting them from particularly prized olive trees. .

FOI's aim is to make the highest-quality extra virgin olive oil with a perfectly balanced taste using traditional cold pressing. Their olive oil has aromas of fresh herbs and artichoke.

The brown vessel shown in the logo is a historic, entirely handmade earthenware jar once used mainly for storing olive oil. Its interior was lined with glass because olive oil can cause corrosion. The first vessels were made by the Etruscans. Many names are used for this item, but the best known is 'Ziro', typical of the Umbria region.
