Premium Olive oil

The foundation of every Italian pantry, done properly. Assaggia's premium olive oil range is built on cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from a single region in Tuscany — grassy, golden and finished with the peppery kick that marks a true Tuscan oil. Made for drizzling over salads, pasta and warm bread, and the natural companion to our artisan pasta and truffle pantry.

F.A.Q.

Most supermarket oils are blends from many territories. Assaggia Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from a single region in Tuscany — one region, one press, one bottle. Cold pressed to protect the aroma and character of the harvest, it tastes of somewhere, not of everywhere.

Both, but it truly shines as a finishing oil — where the flavour stays intact.

Drizzle it raw over just-cooked pasta: it's made for simple dishes like Traditional Calabrian Fileja with garlic and chilli, or the rustic Struncatura with anchovies and breadcrumbs, where a good oil is half the dish.

Beautifully — olive oil is the natural carrier for truffle flavour. Stir a spoonful of Tartufata into warm oil for an instant pasta sauce, or drizzle the oil over tagliolini and finish with slices of Premium Truffle Carpaccio for a restaurant-level plate in ten minutes.

The 250ml bottle suits occasional finishing use or makes a lovely gift alongside a pack of pasta; the 500ml is the everyday-kitchen choice.

Either way, keep it in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove — light and heat are olive oil's enemies — and enjoy it within a few months of opening, while it's at its aromatic best.
