This special seasoning comes from the combination of typical ingredients of the Mediterranean cuisine: extra virgin olive oil and chilli pepper. Two simple ingredients that together give us all the pleasure of Italian cuisine.
The dressing we produce is delicately spicy, pleasing both to the eye and to the palate, and enhances the flavour of your dishes.
HOW THE SEASONING FLAVOURED WITH CHILLI IS BORN
The cultivators use mainly the Rasara olive, typical of this area, and the Leccino, which gives a characteristic flavour to the oil. Olives are harvested and grounded in the pressing process together with the red pepper, a 100% Italian chilli pepper.
Our seasoning is different from the others you can find because in that the pepper is not added to the finished oil, but instead is grounded with the olives.
The result? Along with the extraction of the oil from the olives, an essential oil extract from the chilli is obtained. Only in this way can we obtain a complete union of the two ingredients and obtain the maximum organoleptic qualities of the chili.
The final product is characterized by a pleasant orange colour, an intense aroma and a delicate spiciness.
RECOMMENDED MATCHING
The packaging, elegant and linear, makes it the ideal product to give to friends or show off for a special dinner or lunch.
This seasoning will give the right balance and accompaniment to croutons with salami or dried tomatoes, pizzas and pastas and red meat courses.
Seasoning flavored with bay leaf and EVO oil
The seasoning flavored with bay leaf and oil EVO comes from the desire of the Callegaro family, to bring to the table something more than a good EVO oil. The idea was to create a seasoning based on EVO oil, which is combined with the softness and the enveloping taste of bay leaf.
Two ingredients, olives and laurel, always cultivated on our Hills. Both present in the garden of the famous reinassence poet Petrarca, who loved both these two plants.
The laurel, a plant to which poets and doctors were praised, gives a soft, intense, persistent aromatic note. From the combination of these two ingredients (laurel and olive oil) typical of the local cuisine, we realize a seasoning that enhances the dishes with the flavors of tradition.
HOW WAS IT BORN?
We have collected our best olives grown in our olive groves which are located on volcanic soils. The olives, of Rasara cultivar, typical of this area, and of the Leccino cultivar, give a characteristic taste to the oil.
After being thoroughly washed, we proceed with the milling of the olives together with the fresh bay leaves that come from our fields here at Arquà Petrarca. The peculiarity of our seasoning is right in the moment of union between olives and laurel. The laurel is not added to the finished oil, but is ground together with the olives.
What do you get? Together with the extraction of olive oil, you get an extract of essential laurel oil. This process, which involves both ingredients, allows a greater union and maximum extraction of the organoleptic characteristics of olive and laurel.
AN ENHANCER OF THE DISHES
That is what we were aiming for! The seasoning flavored with bay leaves based on EVO oil is the final touch that will give a more intense flavor to the dishes. It gives a soft scent of laurel as much to the nose as to the palate. Soft and pleasant it will conquer even the most demanding palates.
ABSOLUTELY WORTH A TRY ON:
a soup of legumes and black cabbage, a roast with bacon, baked potatoes, a sandwich with ham or salami, or a traditional risotto with seasonal herbs.
Seasoning flavored with lemon and EVO oil

Pleasing both to the eye and to the palate, already at the opening of the bottle it gives off the tipically fresh and citrine scent that will enhance the taste of your dishes.
