Oil and Flavor: Perfect Pairings for Your Recipes

For this recipe, we recommend an EVO DOP Canino monocultivar oil (Lazio): this is an ancient native variety, cultivated in the Tuscia viterbese area. Very rustic and adaptable, it is the jewel in the crown of these territories. The oil it produces has a fruity aroma in which bitterness and pungency are balanced and pleasantly accord with herbaceous notes.
