Bergamot Olive Oil

It is important to understand the terms ‘infused’ and ‘flavored’ when referring to olive oils that have additions. Infused oils are those that have aromatic essences added to the oil by a heat process. In many cases the essences are used to mask inferior olive oils. Flavored oils are those oils that actually have the aromatics, in this case bergamot, pressed with the olives. After a settling period the organic debris is removed with the olive pulp leaving behind the scent and taste of the aromatic ingredient. Many of you are familiar with the wonderful taste and aroma of oil of bergamot since it is the bergamot that gives Earl Grey tea its beautiful bouquet and flavor. We like to refer to the Laleli bergamot olive oil as the “Earl Grey” of olive oils. Drizzle the Laleli bergamot olive oil over greens and sprinkle with our Fleur de Sel and five peppercorn mix. Hold the vinegar-none is needed. Brush the oil on seafood as it comes off the grill. Marry it with poached asparagus or artichokes. Avocado and arugula never had a better companion. For an interesting taste sensation drizzle a little on fresh fruit. Size: 250 ml $12.99 Quantity: • Sign in to add to your wish list. • Submit Your Rating/Review
