Our Reserve Stone Ground mono-cultivar Dolce Rossano is handpicked and crushed within 4 hours after harvest. Dolce Rossano is known for its mild & buttery consistency with herbaceous aroma. It is a true example of harmony & intensity along with overtone of a ripe tomato and apple. Our custom crushed Dolce Rossano is also set apart from others by its prestigious D.O.P. designation. D.O.P. stands for Protected Designation of Origin—a high honor in the country with the world’s highest standards for olive oil, in an area renowned for its olive oil for centuries. The Dolce Rossano variety allows producing moderately fruity oil that presents interesting scents of grass with slightly peppy finish.Pairing suggestions: Try our Rossano Extra Virgin over bitter lettuce salads (radicchio, arugula or chicory) and summer tomatoes with our Traditional 12 or 18 year-aged Balsamic vinegars. Sprinkle over gazpacho or other chilled summer vegetable soups for a taste of the Mediterranean. Our Rossano is also perfect as a finishing oil for grilled or roasted meats, fish and poultry, in herb marinades, or as a dressing for grilled vegetables.%100 Monocultivar Extra Virgin Olive Oil, DOP Italy
