Blood Oranges brighten gray winter days. Combine our spicy Sicilian Nocellara extra virgin olive oil and classic Sicilian blood oranges in this cake for the perfect afternoon lift with a big boost of antioxidants and vitamin C.
The perfect stew for deep winter- sweet with fennel and cinnamon balanced by the bold peppery kick of our Nocellara.
Sometimes you want a simple at home lunch or light dinner for one or two. Utilize leftover lentils, our Nocellara, and some fresh cheese. If you want, add some crusty bread or breadsticks.
These marinated mushrooms are an easy way to add another vegetable to your party spread. Or put into a jar for a neighborly gift that isn't more cookies!
Creamy winter soups are a favorite for us, but they always need a little extra crunch and flavor to brighten up the darkness this time of year. In minutes using only our bold Nocellara and two other ingredients, you can have a crispy peppery garnish for your soup that's not just another crouton.
This pasta is a little earthy, a little sweet, and has a nice crunch from the pistachios. Our delicate Biancolilla adds dimensions of flavor to this light dish, making it fine for a weeknight dinner, but easily fit for company as a first course.
Tapenade is a wonderful addition to your antipasti course. This tapenade is brightened up with artichokes and our peppery Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil blending with Nocellara olives (called Castelvetrano olives in United States). Make ahead for your next holiday gathering, the tapenade keeps well for days in the fridge.
This vegetarian dish makes an impressive main course for a holiday, or can be served as a side dish.
Rich tasting, but light, a little spicy, a little briny. Very delicious. Called cutlets in American English, the Italian word for thinly pounded boneless lean meat is scaloppine. If you wish to use pork or turkey instead of chicken- either will also work wonderfully in this dish.
This salad is wonderful as a side salad, or expanded into a main dish with a filet of roasted salmon- the olive tapenade vinaigrette with our Biancolilla is layered with flavors, but very versatile. The light peppery notes and fruity aroma in our Biancolilla help elevate salads that have a creamy component (here, the ricotta salata), and a juicy sweet component (here, the red grapes).
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.
