Caputo’s Pick of the Week– Castelvetrano Olive Oil

For week 4 of Italian heritage month, we head to our long aisles of olive oil! We have oil imported from all over the world, infused olive oil, domestic olive oil, and more. Among them you will find Angelo’s grandson, Robertino’s, favorite Italian item– Delallo’s Castelvetrano Olive Oil!

The secret to every good dish is a high quality olive oil. There are so many different ones out there with different tastes and compositions, but if you’re looking for a unique one, this is a must try! 

This extra virgin olive oil is made with the first cold press of olives and made exclusively with Castelvetrano olives.

The Castelvetrano olives are the key to the unique characteristics of this EVOO. These olives come from Sicily and are prized for their delicate, fruity flavor and low acidity. They have an almost buttery taste and a smooth texture. The result is a smooth, fruity olive oil.

A great feature about this oil is that it comes in a squeeze bottle with a fine tip. It makes it simple for a finishing drizzle of oil on any dish. 

Castelvetrano olive oil is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of culinary applications. It’s perfect for:

  • Drizzling over salads: The oil’s delicate flavor complements the freshness of greens and vegetables.
  • Marinating meats and fish: Castelvetrano olive oil can infuse meats and fish with a subtle flavor and help to tenderize them.
  • Cooking vegetables: The oil’s high smoke point makes it suitable for sautéing and roasting vegetables.
  • Finishing dishes: A drizzle of Castelvetrano olive oil can add a final touch of flavor to pasta, soups, and grilled meats.

Castelvetrano olive oil is a true culinary gem that offers a unique flavor profile and a host of health benefits. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or simply looking to add a touch of quality to your meals, Castelvetrano olive oil is a must-try.
