FROM PURE ITALIAN LEMON JUICE TO OIL: DISCOVERING THE 5 NEW GOURMET OILS.
Lemon and oil: perfect combo. LIMMI, the flagship brand of the Umbrian company B&G SRL, today signs a new line with a unique flavor – the Olietti Gourmet. A natural evolution for a brand that has long distinguished itself in the enhancement of Italian excellence, particularly those linked to the typical territories of Sicily, Calabria and Campania, to offer pure Italian lemon juice that maintains the same freshness and liveliness of a freshly squeezed juice.
The success and accolades so far have prompted the company to explore new treasures of the Italian food heritage, in tune with contemporary needs: attention to wellness, but without sacrificing taste. Today, “eating well and healthy” has become an unavoidable combination, as has cooking with love, speed and creativity, traveling between culinary traditions and new inspirations.
In a world that demands practical but flavor-rich solutions, condiments become true protagonists in the kitchen. This is how “Limmi – gli Olietti Gourmet” was born: five small masterpieces that taste of all the beauty of the Mediterranean maquis and tell of the extraordinary biodiversity of unique places, capable of releasing intense and complex olfactory notes. To cross space and time and bring back to the most authentic roots of the Mediterranean diet, recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Olietti is processed in a small, modern, technologically advanced oil mill, where the harvested olives are ground the same day along with the fresh characterizing ingredient. This technique, called contemporary pressing, is sophisticated and complex: it requires a perfect balance of the natural essential oils, which are imprisoned and absorbed during processing, bringing out all their fragrance. The result is an oil with a rich and natural flavor profile, soft on the palate and without added artificial flavors-just fresh ingredients, an authentic expression of nature.
This process, in addition to enhancing the traditional extra virgin oil, improves its shelf life and enriches it with highly bioavailable nutraceutical molecules.
Each Olietto Gourmet is housed in a small amphora inspired by Limmi’s new look: a vibrant decorative motif reminiscent of a majolica tile discovered during a journey among Sicilian lemon groves. An aesthetic choice that enhances the Italian character of the product and celebrates the quality of Mediterranean raw materials. The amphora, a symbol of daily life and cultural exchange since ancient times, was used to transport precious goods, such as oil, from one coast of the Mediterranean to another. Even today, its remains tell us stories of civilization, culture and flavors that stand the test of time.
Limmi – the Gourmet Olive Oils from contemporary pressing, have a strong and full flavor, combining the complexity of the oil with the aromaticity of fresh herbs and vegetables such as: chili pepper, garlic, rosemary, white truffle and finally our beloved lemon. Each year we will have a flavor that carries with it the rhythm of time and the seasons.
