EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL + PÂTÉ + SAUCE Oleificio Melchiorri, located in Umbria in the heart of Italy, has been crafting fine oils from the most distinguished olive varietals for over 50 years. The Melchiorri family produces premier olive oils and Umbrian specialties such as porcini pate, truffle spreads, and flavored artisan oils.
MORAIOLO FRANTOIO LECCINO olive oil
Each bottle of Melchiorri olive oil is derived from hand-picked olives of the Moraiolo, Frantoio, and Leccino olive trees. The Umbrian climate is particularly favorable for harvesting some of Italy’s most distinguished olives for oil pressing. Following an ancient tradition, the olives are crushed by means of a granite millstone, achieving extra virgin olive oil after the first cold press. Melchiorri’s rich history and respect for tradition ensure the purest and most natural oil taste.

Choosing an olive oil can be compared to selecting a wine. Flavors vary significantly and a particular oil may be better suited for a particular dish. When choosing an olive oil, some of the factors that should be considered are if the oil will be used for a hot dish or a cold dish, for a marinade or a dressing, or for grilling or sautéing. When choosing an oil, one should also consider the pungency scale which measures the sharply strong taste for each olive oil.
