Porto di Mola Smoked Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Description

L'Smoked Extra Virgin Olive Oil Porto di Mola was born from the search for the perfect balance between the bold character of smoking and the quality of an Italian extra virgin olive oil.

The smoking process

The oil is slowly cold-smoked with oak wood: a patient process that allows the oil to absorb the wood's aromas without heating, preserving its original organoleptic characteristics intact.

The result is a smoked extra virgin olive oil with a distinctive, distinctive flavor, capable of transforming even a simple dish into a unique tasting experience. The cultivars used—Leccino, Frantoio, and Sessana—are among the most representative varieties of Italian olive growing, chosen for their balance of fruity and slightly bitter notes, which pair beautifully with the smoky aroma.

Pairings in the kitchen

The bold flavor of this smoked extra virgin olive oil makes it ideal for pairing with delicately flavored foods, enhancing its aroma without overpowering it: raw fish, mozzarella and other fresh cheeses, and grilled white meats.

Just a few drops raw are enough to flavor a dish and give it an enveloping smoky note. It's also excellent for enhancing bruschetta, a cream of vegetable soup, or a tartare, where the oak smoke complements the flavors of the main ingredients without overpowering them.

Format

Available in a 0.25-liter bottle, a format designed for a raw condiment to be used sparingly, given the intensity of its aromatic profile.

The Porto di Mola Oil Mill

Frantoio Porto di Mola is located in the Terra di Lavoro area of Campania, in the province of Caserta, with a long tradition of olive growing. The olives are processed quickly after harvest, a factor that directly impacts the quality of the oil, reducing the risk of unwanted fermentations that could compromise its flavor.

Harvesting and pressing

The olives are harvested at a calibrated level of ripeness to balance yield and organoleptic quality, then cold-pressed to best preserve the aromas and nutritional properties of the oil, avoiding the use of high temperatures that could alter its original aromatic profile.

How to store oil

To preserve the characteristics of extra virgin olive oil, it is advisable to store it in a cool, dark place, away from heat sources and direct light, which could accelerate oxidation and compromise its flavor over time.

An oil for every use

Excellent raw on vegetables, bruschetta, and fish dishes, this extra virgin olive oil is also suitable for cooking, where it expresses a distinctive character compared to more neutral oils available on the market, maintaining its organoleptic characteristics intact even at moderate temperatures.

The territory of Terra di Lavoro

Terra di Lavoro, a historic area of northern Campania, has been known for centuries for the fertility of its soil, particularly suited to olive growing and other typical crops of the region. This area combines agricultural tradition and attention to quality, elements that are reflected in the final bottled product.

Italian 100% oil

The exclusively Italian provenance of the olives used represents a guarantee of traceability that is often absent in many extra virgin olive oils sold at lower prices, which instead use blends of olives from multiple countries, with generally inferior quality and traceability.

A reliable product

Consistent quality over time is one of the aspects most appreciated by those who regularly purchase this product: knowing they can always count on the same characteristics, batch after batch, is a value that often weighs as much as the quality of the individual purchase itself, especially for those who use it in a professional setting or frequently in the kitchen.
