Francesco De Padova
100%
Certified Organic
Estate Grown
Extra Virgin Olive Oil  
In Italy when something is certified organic, it is called biologico.
The organic extra virgin olive oil from Francesco De Padova is produced entirely from their 1,000 acre estate in the D.O.P. zone Terra d’Otranto in sun-drenched and beautiful Puglia, where 40% of Italy’s olive oil is made.
The olives for this oil are grown with only vegetable and organic fertilizers, and there are no pesticides or chemicals used on their estate.  All steps of the production are strictly controlled and certified by AIAB, the Italian Association of Organic Farming.
Olives are hand picked and cold pressed within 12 hours, retaining maximum polyphenols, the anti-oxidants that keep the oil fresh longer, and are key to the good health benefits of olive oil.

Tasting Notes: De Padova  organic extra virgin oil has a light fruity taste, with hints of green tomato, ripe olives and artichokes. It is fabulously smooth and creamy on the palate, exudes freshness and has just the right amount of pepper on the finish.  The color is gold-yellow with green reflections. Sporting a low acidity of .4%, it will stay fresh for a long time. It's beautiful balance, fresh, smooth taste and lovely aroma earned it the gold medal at the Olive Oils of the World competition in the category of Classic Italian Blends.

This oil is for the palate that prefers delicacy to an intensity, but still wants a clear fruit taste, or those that value the extra care and attention that comes with organic farming.  It's delicacy makes it perfect used raw for dressings, especially salads, and “finishing” fish and vegetables with a filo d’olio, a “thread” of oil.  It  is also a good general purpose oil for sautéing and preparing all your Mediterranean dishes.
