Grown and hand-picked to traditional methods in the mountainous Zaghouan region of Tunisia, the olives in Clearspring Organic Tunisian Extra Virgin Olive Oil have a mild and delicious flavour. The fatty acid profile of this oil is quite special and makes it suitable for cooking at high temperatures as much as for drizzling over your favourite dishes.
Olive cultivation in Tunisia dates back as far as the 8th century BC when the Romans introduced it; since that time the olive has become an integral part of Tunisian culture with both culinary and cosmetic uses. Today Tunisia has the second largest collection of olive groves in the world after Spain, so olives form a significant part of their cuisine. We have chosen an exceptional quality of oil which can even be used for deep-frying. Clearspring Tunisian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced near the town El Fahs in the Zaghouan region of northern Tunisia. It is high in anti-oxidants and rich in omega 6 and 9.
Produced in accordance to the standards of organic farming and respect for the environment, this extra virgin olive oil is the perfect selection of olives grown on the rocky hillsides of the Viola estate located in the S. Eraclio di Foligno area of Umbria. Green with a golden hue, it has a fresh olive aroma and a medium fruity flavor with notes of artichoke and tomato. It is ideal with raw vegetable starters, bean salads, and drizzled over fresh-water fish as well as medium-mature cheeses. It is also the perfect oil used in desserts such as tarts, apple pies and chocolate cookies.
