Our extra virgin olive oil is grown and pressed in the very south of Italy in Sicilia, but we love using it in this fall dish with traditionally Northern Italian ingredients of Savoy cabbage and apples. Our biancolilla brings balance and enhances the fruit flavor of the apples. Serve as a side dish with a ham steak or sausages, or alongside your favorite bean stew.
Make this as a side dish or serve as a vegetarian main with a fried egg on top. Our Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil complements bean dishes perfectly, as the bold peppery notes bring out the layers of flavors in legumes.
With fall comes squash season, and delicata squash is much easier to prepare than butternut squash, because you don't have to peel the squash. This method is partly a light braise, followed by a gentle roast, but is one baking dish and minimal prep for everything.
This dish using broccolini and our Biancolilla is a weeknight friendly fast side dish that goes alongside roasted chicken or steamed fish perfectly. The currants add just a little sweetness and the lemon zest adds brightness, but without increased acidity.
These look fussy, but it takes longer to preheat the oven than do all the prep. Our Biancolilla's buttery notes bring out the sweetness in the squash.
This cake takes advantage of the fall plum season, combining our buttery Biancolilla with creamy ricotta. Italian prune plums are small egg-shaped plums with a deep purple skin and yellowish green flesh. This cake has a plush crumb, and is not too sweet, thanks to the tart plums and lower amount of sugar than most cakes.
Make this classic Sicilian pasta dish with a perfectly ripe summer tomato, toasted almonds, and our peppery Nocellara.
Our Nocellara pairs beautifully with tomatoes, especially garden fresh tomatoes full of sweet sun-fueled sugars. Make this dish as a light weeknight meal for 2 to 3 people or as a colorful and impressive first course for 6.
With few ingredients, this condimento - sauce/dressing/vinaigrette - allows the main event of pasture raised grilled steak to shine. This condimento is based on a traditional Sicilian Salmoriglio Sauce, which is often used with fish, and has many variations; some including different herbs and sometimes garlic or mustard; but high quality olive oil, sea salt, and lemon juice are always included.
Enjoy the simple elegance of our Biancolilla in this easy pasta dish!
Make this classic Sicilian dish with our Nocellara, which stands up to the rich flavors of eggplant and tomatoes- great as a side dish, sandwich filling, or topping for grilled bread.
