The estate of Marina Colonna is in the farmlands of Bosco Pontoni in the Italian province of Molise. She presses some of the world's finest olive oil on her family's estate, and also presses some great citrus olive oils as well. These are not olive oils flavored with citrus fruits, but actually olives and organic Italian fruits pressed together. In the past, after the harvest, the mill was cleaned by pressing lemons and the remaining olives together, and what came out was considered low-quality and thus given to the workers. Only later did the estate owners discover its beautiful flavors did they start considering it valuable enough to sell. These make great oils for dishes meant to remind you of the warmer times.
Fine, fresh root ginger is flown in to the farm from the far east at harvest time for milling with the best Colonna olives. This unusual union produces an even more remarkable spicy flavored oil.
While these citrus-pressed olive oils went past-date in August 2009, they still have very strong flavors and aromas, but we are discounting them significantly because they passed their date. Order any 4 or more of this line, and get them for only $14.00 per bottle!
