GUADAGNòLO PRIMUS
Organic extra virgin olive oil
100% italian
During renovations at Fattoria Ramerino, a rare guadagnòlo was discovered alongside some terracotta oil storage jars from the nearby town of impruneta. Guadagnòlo is a Tuscan dialect word that describes a wide-necked antique terracotta urn that was used to hold the mill workers’ utensils. By the end of each day, a layer of oil would have gathered in the base of the urn, which was gifted to the workers. (Guadagnolo translates as “earning,” hence the root of the term guadagnòlo.) The origin of the word expresses the value historically associated with olive oil, and the importance of not wasting a single drop. For this reason, the guadagnòlo unearthed at Fattoria Ramerino served as inspiration for the name of two of its organic extra virgin olive oils.
Add as a finishing touch to dishes with bold flavors, such as the traditional Tuscan ribollita (a cannellini bean and vegetable stew), grain and pulse-based soups, grilled meats and cooked vegetables.
Medium intensity fruity aroma of green olives with hints of grass and artichoke. The flavour is a balance of medium intensity pungent and bitterness characteristics. Green color veined with yellow.
