The recipe for EVO oil
Oil is the only and irreplaceable condiment in Mediterranean cuisine.
But if we want to talk about the true must-have of Italian cuisine, we have to talk about extra virgin olive oil.
I'll try to answer simply, highlighting the importance of using extra virgin olive oil.

We are producers of extra virgin olive oil and have in-depth knowledge of the properties and characteristics of this type of oil.
Let's start by saying that
EVO oil is the best
Let's try to clarify things a bit and find out together how to distinguish this variety from others on the market.
Let's start by saying that EVO oil is the best.
We don't risk this definition just because we are producers but because there is no oil with the same extraordinary properties.
It has very low acidity and a delicious aroma.
Extracted from the cold mechanical milling or pressing of olives, it is a very pure product with an acidity level of less than 0.80% per 100 g of product.
When you buy oil, make sure the label says EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL.
Demanding the best comes at a higher cost but is justified by the quality.
It is also an antioxidant, contains monounsaturated fatty acids that reduce certain diseases and increase good cholesterol.
Thanks to its good temperature resistance, extra virgin olive oil is also excellent for frying and can therefore be replaced with sunflower seed oil and peanut oil.
It is the sunniest of ingredients, the one that best defines the concept of the Mediterranean diet, a lifestyle so precious that it is considered an intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO.
A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a clove of garlic, and a pinch of chili pepper, and you've got a flavorful and tantalizing pasta dish on the table; a few drops raw and even the simplest side dishes, salads, and boiled vegetables shine with character; even raw, to flavor grilled meats or fish, to make marinades or sauces like classic mayonnaise, to flavor bruschetta, or, in short, to season any specialty. And then in cooking, in sauces and gravies, and as we mentioned, in light and fragrant fried foods, even to make fragrant and delicious desserts.
In short, the properties, quality, and goodness of extra virgin olive oil are the reasons why you should always choose it over any other alternative.
