OLIO EXTRA VERGINE DI OLIVA D.O.P.
Chianti Classico

There are various varieties of olive trees at Gabbiano Castello: The main ones are Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Correggiolo, and a small amount of Pendolino and Piangente.

The olives are harvested by hand and processed, within 24 hours, in the modern olive-press on the estate.

There is a limited production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which boasts the Protected Name of Origin status (D.O.P.) which is characterised by low acidity, lively green colour, intense fragrance and typically fruity and slightly spicy taste.

It is bottled by hand, in dark glass to ensure the product’s characteristics remain unchanged over time.

At the heart of a good Mediterranean diet, it is excellent uncooked in soups, grilled meats and especially Florentine chops, greens in general and as a garnish in haute cuisine dishes, and can be used in cooking, in place of butter, ensuring lightness and taste in meats.

DELIZIA DEL CASTELLO

Aromatic food seasoning, obtained from the ageing of the grape must, for at least 6/8 years, in special kegs of various sizes and various high quality woods which, gradually over time, produce a wonderful complexity of fragrances.

The seasoning can be used to give aroma to dishes both in its raw state, and added at the end of cooking.

For raw foods (vegetables, carpaccio etc.), it is advisable to add it before the oil, so its aroma is fully captured by the meat; in foods that are cooked for longer periods, a good rule is to add it just before removing from the heat; this is also true for hot dishes already placed on a serving dish, when it is best to sprinkle the seasoning at the last moment, before serving at table.

In addition to the more “classic” combinations (meat, cured pork, vegetables, fish), the dressing is excellent for enhancing sauces, fresh fruit, ice cream and cocktails.
