Green oil with vegetal notes of cutted grass and artichoke, almond, with a very intense and robust scent.
The undisputed protagonist of every dish, it still appears light without throwing the gastronomic preparations off balance.
FORMAT: 0.5 litre with special packaging, in a LIMITED AND NUMBERED edition.
USES AT THE TABLE: very useful as a COOKED seasoning for all dishes, particularly suitable for raw and grilled vegetables, boiled pulses, tartare, undercooked meats and fish dishes.
The name pays tribute to the figure of Plinio the Younger (Roman scholar), whose uncle Plinio the Elder’s iconic phrase ‘oil is as good as the olive is unripe’ (Naturalis Historiae) is echoed in the box.( Naturalis Historiae)
Indeed, it is well known that the Ancient Romans were great connoisseurs of olive oil and how its quality was mainly influenced by the state of ripeness of the olives themselves.
