Foggo Wines Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our olives are picked from a wind break for the vines at Wilcadene. The trees are 45 yrs old and again dry grown. The olive variety is verdale, not a great deal of oil comes from verdale but what does has a very fruity flavour with a hint of nutty taste similar to cashews. Come in to cellar door and taste the olive oil. Cooking with olive oil is like cooking with wine. Never use a wine or olive oil that does not taste good to you. An inferior one will leave an aftertaste. Marcella Hazan who wrote the cookbook called "Marcella Cucina" wrote the following: "The taste of a dish for which you need olive oil will be as good or as ordinary as the oil you use. A sublime one can lift even modest ingredients to eminent heights of flavor; a dreary oil will pull the best ingredients down to its own level. Partial clues to the quality of the olive oil you are buying are supplied by the label and the price, but ultimately, the only way to determine which one, among those available, is right for you is to taste and compare." Foggo Wines Extra Virgin Olive Oil is only available from our Cellar Door or via Mail Order $20.00 for 750 ml
