Montalto Basil-Infused Olive Oil is cold pressed, producing the finest quality oil with the purest flavours and extra virgin (the purest oil from the first pressing & free of solids). Montalto olives are pressed together with fresh basil leaves, releasing aromas and oils from the basil leaves. The flavours are fresh and grassy with the heady aroma of basil. Montalto Basil-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil works well in Italian-inspired dishes such as a salad of buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes; drizzled over minestrone soup or a simple pasta immediately prior to serving; or even to add a touch of magic to a simple bruschetta.
