Valentini Olive Oil "Raccolto 2024"
Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Loreto Aprutino, Abruzzo, Italy
From the legendary producer Eduardo Valentini in Abruzzo comes this exclusive extra virgin olive oil – Raccolto 2024. Just like his coveted and cult-status wines, this oil embodies uncompromising quality, limited production, and total devotion to tradition and terroir.
Valentini's oil is made exclusively from handpicked Dritta olives, a rare and local variety from Loreto Aprutino, regarded as one of Italy’s finest olive-growing regions. The olives are pressed immediately after harvest to preserve their natural freshness, elegance, and complexity.
Tasting Profile
Raccolto 2024 offers an intense, nuanced tasting experience:
Aroma: Fresh notes of green almond, artichoke, herbs, and freshly cut grass.
Taste: Balanced, fresh, and peppery, with elegant bitterness and a lingering aftertaste of green notes and nuttiness.
Texture: Rich, full-bodied, and silky.
Usage
This oil is meant to be enjoyed in its purest form. Drizzle generously over freshly baked focaccia, burrata, grilled vegetables, carpaccio, or simply enjoy with rustic bread. It also enhances risotto, fresh pasta, and soups, adding a distinctive character to any dish.
More than just a byproduct
Unlike many wine producers for whom olive oil is often merely a secondary product, Valentini dedicates the same care, time, and attention to his olive oil as he does to his prestigious wines. Every step—from cultivation and harvesting to pressing—is performed with unmatched precision and mindfulness. The result is an exceptional and unique olive oil, a truly world-class artisan product.
