CASTEL DI LEGO ORO EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

This magnificent olive oil is produced by Sebastiano Galioto in the southeastern part of Sicily. The groves sourced for the oil range in height to over a thousand feet above sea level, creating perfect conditions for the cultivation and growth of several species of olives indigenous to the area. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are avoided. After harvesting by hand, the olives are pressed by a traditional stone press and bottled without filtration. The oil shows an intense and powerful aroma, a greenish/yellow color with superb flavors and a bit of a bite at the back of the throat, which describes the youth and freshness of the oil. With some time in the bottle, the oil takes on a more mellow character without losing its intensity and grip. Voted as one of Italy’s best ten olive oils by “Slow Foods” it will truly enhance any dish or salad. 500ml $23.99 - NOW IN STOCK

Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil

Our Austrian pumpkin seed oil comes from Styria, a province of Austria located near Italy and Slovenia. After the harvest between September and October, the pumpkin seeds are dried and then crushed with water and salt, which aids in the separation of fat and protein. The seeds are then roasted until the water has evaporated. Finally the seed mass is pressed resulting in this unique and healthful oil. It takes more than five pounds of roasted seeds to produce a liter of oil, the equivalent of seeds from about 35 pumpkins. Austrian pumpkinseed oil is one of the healthiest oils because it is highly mono-unsaturated and contains Vitamins E, B1, B6 and high concentrations of Vitamins A, C and D. Studies in Austria have supported the claim that it is effective in the treatment of prostate problems and beneficial in reducing cholesterol. Pumpkinseed oil is sensitive to heat and should not be used for frying or sautéing at high temperatures. Its limit lies around 185 degrees Fahrenheit. 500ml $19.99
