ORGANIC BASIL OLIVE OIL

Lucangeli basil olive oil is an exceptional pressed olive oil, born from the alliance of our olives and fresh basil, cold-pressed together in the heart of Calabria, southern Italy. A pure and fragrant blend that embodies all the savoir-faire of our family business and the authenticity of Mediterranean cuisine.

Basil olive oil born in Calabria

Our extra virgin basil olive oil is the fruit of an Italian tradition passed down from generation to generation. Grown under the generous Calabrian sun, our monovarietal Carolea olives are carefully harvested, then crushed directly with fresh basil at the mill. This method, without any added aromas, captures the aromatic intensity of basil and the sweetness of the olive in a single drop.

Composition and manufacturing

This olive oil pressed with basil combines 70% extra virgin olive oil and 30% fresh basil, cold-pressed simultaneously. Extracted by first cold pressing under 27°C and unfiltered, it retains an acidity below 0.8%, incomparable freshness and all its richness in antioxidants, vitamins E and K. 100% Italian and from organic farming, it is produced artisanally, in respect of our family heritage.

How to use basil olive oil?

Versatile and generous, this organic basil olive oil is best used cold or at the end of cooking, to preserve its aromas. A few drops are enough to flavor and enhance your dishes:

• on fresh pasta or creamy risotto
• on pizza, focaccia or bruschetta

• on grilled vegetables, soup or carpaccio
• on a simple slice of toasted bread, Italian style
