Unleash the Fiery Passion of Coratina Olive Oil

At Olive This Olive That, we believe in embracing the full spectrum of olive oil flavors. Today, we introduce you to the Coratina olive oil, a bold and assertive California-grown EVOO that will ignite your taste buds with its fiery personality.

A Star with Character:

The Coratina olive, originates and thrives in the sun-drenched Puglia region of southern Italy and loves growing in California’s bread basket, the renowned agricultural Central Valley region.  These resilient trees are known for their small, dark green olives, packed with intense flavor waiting to be unleashed.

A Flavor Profile with Bite:

Coratina EVOO is not for the faint of heart.  The initial aroma is a captivating mix of freshly cut grass, artichoke, and a hint of black pepper.  The first sip explodes with a symphony of bold, peppery notes that linger on the palate.  Hints of green tomato and a touch of bitterness add complexity, making this oil a truly unique experience.

Taming the Flame: Culinary Applications for Coratina:

While Coratina's fiery personality might seem intimidating, it's precisely this boldness that makes it a favorite among adventurous cooks.  Drizzle it sparingly over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or hearty bean stews to add a depth of flavor and a peppery kick.  A touch of Coratina can elevate a simple bowl of tomato soup or pasta aglio e olio to a whole new level.

Beyond the Obvious: Unveiling Hidden Potential

Coratina's boldness extends beyond simple drizzling.  Its high smoke point makes it ideal for high-heat cooking.  Imagine searing a juicy steak or pan-frying fish with a touch of Coratina, infusing the dish with its unique peppery character.  For a touch of smoky depth, use Coratina for sautéing onions and garlic before building your favorite pasta sauce.

A Powerhouse of Health:

Beyond its fiery flavor, Coratina EVOO boasts impressive health benefits. It's loaded with polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and contribute to overall well-being.  Studies suggest Coratina may also offer anti-inflammatory properties.
