A container that contains flavors and traditions and tells well the precious content Limmi “Gli Olietti Gourmet”, a small amphora to bring to the table, to season our favorite dishes and thus rediscover those aromas that make us travel in time and space.
The first Olietto could only be the Lemon.
The idea was born one autumn afternoon when, walking in our “gardens by the sea” full of lemons and fragrant orange blossoms, we hear the call of the nearby olive pickers, because in Sicily lemon groves often border olive groves.
The joy mitigated the fatigue of harvesting by hand, the scents and colors of the two fruits so different but so similar at the same time, one yellow and the other green, integrated in perfect harmony, giving us the idea of creating a product that would combine two Italian excellences: olives with our lemon.
The result is a very fresh and fragrant Olietto Limmi, with a fragrant and citrus note that contains all the aromatic complexity and essential oils of which fresh lemons are rich.
Pairings: Its recommended use raw to season fish appetizers, grilled or baked fish, white or red meat, grilled vegetables and salads.
Perfect for marinades, surprising when combined with chocolate and fiordilatte ice cream, as drops of flavor.
The result is a very aromatic and persistent Olietto Limmi, which contains all the scents of the coastal strip where it grows, in a perfect fusion of fragrances.
Recommended raw to flavor grilled and roasted meat, fish, grilled vegetables, legume soups. Excellent on bruschetta, hot focaccia and typical pasta and chickpeas.
It is a variant for those who do not give up seasoning their dishes with a pungent note of garlic.
The result is a very pleasant and intense Olietto Limmi, with a spiciness that contains all the aromatic complexity and essential oils of which fresh chillies are rich and the pungent scents of garlic, in a perfect contamination of fragrances.
Its use is recommended for seasoning grilled meats, stews and bruschetta. Excellent for marinades, roasted potatoes, mushrooms, grilled eggplant.
Special for spaghetti.
The processing of this Olietto consists of two phases, as it is not possible to combine the ingredients in a simultaneous pressing. Extra virgin olive oil is extracted from olives, the natural aroma of truffles is extracted from fresh Italian truffles, which are combined together to make an Olietto with a refined and persistent flavor.
The advice is to always use it raw, on pasta, risottos, meat, mushroom-based dishes, eggs, carpaccio and tartare, interesting
even with fish. Excellent with fresh products such as mozzarella.
