Frantoio Olivestri
Siloro D.O.P. Umbria
There are few better olive oils made
than Siloro.
This
Italian oil is from Umbria on the Tuscan border near Montepluciano and
Cortona. It
derives its perfect balance from Tuscany’s big, strong tradition and
Umbria’s more mellow background.
Siloro is the finest oil made
by Olivestri. Made in very small quantities
with the utmost care and attention to quality, with
a select mix of olives (Leccino, Frantoio, Moraiolo, Dolce Agogia)
that are picked starting in late October to insure a high percentage of
under-ripe fruit, producing the golden-green color and an
extraordinarily low .2
degree of acidity, with a perfect balance between fruit and acidity.
The olives
are always pressed within 24 hrs. of being picked to insure a
fresh-tasting oil very high in
polyphenols which are the good-health promoting anti-oxidants that
reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Siloro carries the prestigious
European Union Seal "D.O.P. Umbria." D.O.P. certifies
that this oil's origin is 100% Umbria. Learn More:

Tasting
Notes: Siloro is a golden oil with deep green overtones
and a classic Tuscan/Umbrian nose of freshly cut grass and the
intoxicating aroma of freshly pressed olives in the frantoio. The
tastes are very complex and intense with many overtones. The finish is
intensely peppery. This oil has a perfect structure that, once
tasted, will entice you back for more. It's Gold Medal at the
Olive Oils of the World competition in the category of D.O.P. Umbria,
assures you that it is the perfect example of Umbrian oil.
This oil is for discriminating
palates that prefer their olive oils to add character and nuance to
their dishes. This oil is perfect for finishing all roasted
meats, it is spectacular used raw over cooked vegetables like asparagus
or tomatoes. It is also a good general purpose oil
for sautéing and preparing all your Mediterranean dishes.
