Lupi "Special Selection" Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Lupi Extra Virgin “Special Selection” Olive Oil comes from selected olives harvested exclusively by the traditional method of shaking the fruit off the tree on to nets laid ready on the ground. The olives are still cold pressed by stone mills and even more remarkable, all impurities are extracted from the oil by the old fashioned method of decanting. The result is a unique full flavoured oil. Perfect for cooking, salads, bread dipping and drizzling over food.

Lupi "Essenza" Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This oil come from olives which have had the pit (or stone) removed before pressing. It truly embodies the essence of the olive fruit. In ancient times it was produced and reserved exclusively for nobility. It has an extremely rich flavour, with an aftertaste of almonds. Recent scientific studies have shown that oil from pitted olives is extremely high in polyphenols which give Extra Virgin Olive Oil extra antioxidant activity and health benefits. Perfect for cold dishes, Mediterranean salads, bread dipping or as a condiment, the healthiest of all olive oils and top of the Lupi Extra Virgin Olive Oils range.

Lupi "Organic" Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This oil is produced from organically-farmed olive groves, grown at higher altitude to avoid the Mediterranean olive fly. It has a lively fresh flavour, and is hugely popular. As well as being ideal for use with salads and as a condiment it can be used in exactly the same way as any Lupi Extra Virgin Olive Oil, with the added incentive of being an organic oil.

Lupi Balsamic Vinegar

Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is a unique speciality vinegar produced exclusively in the Provence of Modena, in Italy. Regional grape must and wine are blended and carefully matured in old wooden casks to give Balsamic Vinegar its special aroma and flavour. You will find Balsamic Vinegar used in recipes throughout this book as it is an integral part of Italian cuisine. You can experiment with using Balsamic Vinegar in so many ways.

Here are just a few suggestions:-

  • Roasting a variety of vegetables with ½ cup of Balsamic Vinegar and ½ cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Quarter all the vegetables, stir to coat with the vinegar and oil, and roast at 200°C for one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Baste roasting meat with Balsamic Vinegar.
  • Soak strawberries in Balsamic Vinegar before eating.

White Balsamic Condiment can be used instead of the dark Balsamic Vinegar at any time where the dark colour isn’t wanted, or for a slightly sweeter flavour. Balsamic Vinegar can be used in any recipe that asks for Wine Vinegar.
