Extra virgin olive oil

Olive tree has very ancient roots and was brought to Italy by Fenicians first and then Carthaginians. It was considered in ancient times as symbol of peace and triumph, while its fruit was mainly used for rites and purification ceremonies, or consumed as a food or medicine. In the end of spring and beginning of summer trees begin to blossom and start to get covered in flowers and fruits (drupes), different from each other in shape and colour depending on the type. Rustichella d’Abruzzo was born and raised in the splendid Vestina area, in the inland of the province of Pescara. An area that not everyone knows and is located in the Tavo River valley, once full of mills and described by the poet Mamilio as “breast that provides milk and honey where no cereal, fruit or vegetable grows”. The advantageous hill microclimate guarantees the highest quality of an Extra Virgin Olive Oil recognised and appreciated in Italy and the whole world.

Novello extra virgin olive oil 500 ml

Novello Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes to life during olive harvest in October and November, when olives are not ripe yet. It is a unique product to be discovered, which conquests with its scent and aroma the most demanding palates of foodies from all over the world who cannot wait to taste the new production of the year. The local types Dritta (most representative cultivar in Abruzzo, with a slightly bitter and spicy taste and aftertaste of almond) and Leccino (that gives oil a fresh fruity scent of green apple) are harvested through a technique called “brucatura manuale” (hand picking) in order to preserve both the integrity of centuries-old olive groves and the high quality of olives. Try it on meat, fish, grilled vegetables and a hot bruschetta, or as main condiment of Rustichella d’Abruzzo Spaghetti with garlic, oil and chili pepper.
