Colli Etruschi Roma Extra Virgin Olive Oil

We believe that food should build community.  In the spirit of cooperation and the ability to share a common heritage of tradition and technique Agricola Cooperativa Colli Etruschi agricultural cooperative was established in 1965. Today agronomist Nicola Fazzi collaborates with over 330 local member farmers working more than 800 hectares of historical olive groves rooted in ancient Etruscan lands to produce these award winning oils.

How do Italians use their "liquid gold"? They use it every day in everything with the feeling that like life it is meant to be "savored not saved".

 

In Rome whether used for frying, braising (carcifofi alla Romana), or sauce-making, like all of Italy olive oil is a cornerstone of Italian cooking. Many Italians see olive oil as the single most important kitchen staple, as well as ingredient in itself.

Excellent for a soffritto saute or vinaigrette dressing, seasoning beans, soups, for dipping and bruschetta or as an ingredient for olive oil focaccia or a classic olive oil cake. 

Regarded as a superfood, olives contain natural disease-fighting polyphenols, antioxidant vitamin E, oleic acid, and monounsaturated fat. It has been suggested that olive oil is not only good for heart protection but, also for cancer protection. FDA noted benefits suggest that eating about 2 tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil.

According to research conducted by the Modern Olives Laboratory Services, Australia,  the antioxidant level in EVOO remains the highest of all oils during cooking and it has also been shown that it can improve the nutritional content of the ingredients you are cooking (Research conducted by the Modern Olives Laboratory Services, Australia  https://actascientific.com/ASNH/pdf/ASNH-02-0083.pdf)
