Mediterranean Context
In Mediterranean kitchens, olive oil is not reserved for special occasions.
It is used every day. For cooking, finishing, dipping bread, dressing vegetables, and preparing simple meals. A classic extra virgin olive oil must therefore be balanced, reliable, and versatile rather than intense or dominant.
This oil represents continuity. The same bottle stays on the counter, ready to be used from morning to evening.
