This early harvest Ultra Premium oil features a robust taste, with herb, artichoke, chicory, rosemary and almond aromatic notes.

Uses: Designed by Michel Favuzzi, a member of the New York International Culinary Center's first class of olive oil sommeliers, Favuzzi's exceptional quality oils are available in three aromatic intensities: Delicate, made for chefs; Moderate, for everyday use; and Intense, as a finishing touch.

Distinctives attributes: This oil is produced near the Adriatic coast, in the town of Andria, Puglia, the same region where the Favuzzi family has its roots. Combining the Guglielmi family’s experience with the most advanced technology available to extract the oil within a few hours of harvesting guarantees a quality oil of the utmost freshness. Coratina olives are picked very early in the season, while they are still green. Although they yield a lower volume of oil, they have rich organoleptic properties and a high polyphenol content. Indeed, the Coratina, reigns supreme amongst the world’s olive varieties with the highest polyphenol concentration.

Origin: Andria, Apulia, Italy.

Artisan: Favuzzi’s Intense oil is crafted and produced by Saverio Guglielmi, whose family business has been making superior quality olive oil since 1954. The estate comprises over 170 carefully cultivated hectares.

About Favuzzi

For generations, the Favuzzi family has lived according to the rhythm of the harvests near the Adriatic coast, in Italy. Michel Favuzzi, their founder, discovered the family's olive growing tradition through his uncle Damiano during a trip to Europe. It is worth noting that food is part of every conversation with the Favuzzis. Each family member is deeply attached to the land, passionate about doing things well, and focused on quality over high yield. Damiano is both a chef and an agricultural producer; it was he who encouraged his nephew to import an extra virgin olive oil bearing a protected designation of origin (PDO). This oil, produced by the oil cooperative most Favuzzi family members belong to, marked the beginning of the adventure.
