Today I tried this oil for the first time, and I am swished away by its wonderful fruitiness. What a great aroma! Unbelievable!

I had toasted bread slices which I rubbed with a raw clove of garlic, the toasted bread works like a grater here. I use it very generously, so one clove lasts only for 2 slices in my household. Upon this prepared bread I am putting only the best olive oils.

I am changing them, actually. I had started this kind of breakfast some weeks ago, and so far we had used some milder oil from Tuscany. Now it was time to try one of our newly ordered Gustiamo oils, and I went with this one, as their blog post about it and the man behind it had made me already curious.

This guy is my kind of guy, I am of a similar mindset and no less cynical than he is. Organic labels have become useless, since every industrial corporation can plaster their garbage products with them nowadays. DOP in Italy is no longer a garantee for outstanding quality. So why bother and run with the masses, why spending much money to get such a useless label on your product? As long as you know your product is outstanding and great, you will be able to convince your customers, with DOP labels or not.

His oil is indeed outstanding! Good that I bought 2 bottles of it.

Strong flavour, green, tart and fruity at the same time. Could I mention I was reminded of citrus? There are certainly no flavours added, I only felt a hint of citrus in the aroma and the rich full bodied taste. I will definitely re-order this Queen of Sicilian oils!
