Gourmet extra virgin olive oil

A Star Chef’s first choice.

Gourmet cuisine is not only the identifying mark of the ‘made in Italy’ culture, but it represents one of the greatest expressions of pleasure and talent all over the world.
Both locally and globally, chefs are real artists who interpret raw materials and their combinations in absolutely unique and personal ways. To make a dish perfect,
however, it is essential that each element is of utmost prestige and in harmony with all the others, especially when talking about that extra virgin olive oil that becomes the
touch of taste that binds the ingredients and enhances the flavors . The Gourmet line designed by Tenuta Masciangelo has been created as an answer to the wishes of
great chefs. A product of the highest quality that gives a touch of luxury to every creation and amazes even the most refined of palates.

The result is a deep emotion

TASTE:

HARVEST:

It takes place in October, waiting for the best time based on the climatic conditions of the year. We make it exclusively, with care and attention. The harvested olives are immediately passed over, separated from the leaves and selected to eliminate those not considered suitable.

CRUSHING:

is a very important process, on which the quality of the extra-virgin olive oil depends. Olives must be crushed after the harvesting. In this way, the taste of the olive is preserved. The result of this process is a balanced and harmonious oil, keeping the temperature of the okie paste below 27°C (cold extraction). The pressing must be carried out within 35-40 minutes.

STORAGE:

In this phase, the Gourmet extra virgin olive oil rests in small tanks under nitrogen inert gas, to avoid contact with oxygen and therefore prevent oxidation processes. All this takes place in rooms that are perfect for its best decantation, air-conditioned and protected from light.
