To the immediate South and East of Tuscany, Umbria is associated with some of the finest olive oils in the world – especially by Americans with an educated palate. The artisan, urn-like glass bottle also is in a class by itself, making this oil a unique gift that will be remembered for a long time. A special oil deserves a special container. Umbrian oils are an integral part of the region's economy and on a trip to regional cities, you will undoubtedly encounter one of the many oil tree farms. The Umbrian climate, similar to that of Tuscany but a little warmer, tends to produce extra virgin olive oil with a flavor that is intense, yet balanced. Americans have probably flocked to Umbrian oil because it can approach the bold flavors of Tuscan oil but is more pleasing to the tongue. Aphora DOP from Pietro Coricelli's Barbarossa olive grove is certified to be of the highest quality and is perfect for dishes that require a somewhat lighter touch and a refined taste. Coricelli is known for its deft combination of the art and science of olive oil production. This one is made from highly selected olives and its production is limited.
