Da Vinci Crude Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2023 Gift Set

Italian olive oil connoisseurs who seek the country's finest products will find two olive oils and a favorite vinegar in the Da Vinci Crude Verde Gift Set. Part of the "Da Vinci Crude Tour", the Verde edition introduces two more artisan extra virgin olive oils from the Adriatic Coast and Southern regions.

From Marche, Olio del Carmine is a blend of Leccino, Frantoio, Pendolino, and Carboncella olives. Medium fruity and green with aromas of fresh grass, almond, and the leaf of tomato. The flavor is persistent with both sweet and spicy characteristics.

Versatile, medium fruity. Excellent on first courses, including salmon appetizers, bruschette with vegetables, farro salads, pasta with tomato sauce, baked and roast poultry and lamb, and flavorful salads.

DeCarlo Arcamone olive oil from Puglia (Apulia) is certified organic and Terra di Bari D.O.P. with a medium-intense flavor and complex aroma. For a balanced oil meant to be eaten, try DeCarlo Arcamone olive oil pressed in Puglia. And those who want versatile oil with a grassy finish will appreciate Olio del Carmine from Azienda del Carmine, near Ancona in Marche.

Our favorite white balsamic is included to round out your favorite salads and vegetables! Acetaia Cattani White Balsamic Vinegar is made in the Modena area using sweet must derived from select organically grown Trebbiano grapes. This young vinegar has a bright and zesty zing that serves as the perfect accent to fish, summer salads, grilled vegetables, and white meats. The clear, golden color offers a vinegar boost to a dish without covering up other ingredients.

By sampling the differences between each region, your appreciation for Italian extra virgin olive oil will increase threefold.

A 250ml bottle of each is included in rustic gift packaging.
