EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL MONOCULTIVAR CORATINA "TENUTA MOSSA"
Torre di Mossa is the "historic" farm of the De Carlo family, the birthplace of this extra-virgin oil which epitomises our idea of quality. The variety is the Coratina - the mother of all local oils - and the Ogliarola Barese. This oil features the taste and flavour which make this extra-virgin our real pride and joy. The limited production, the accolades and awards received, make this an extremely prestigious product which always sells out very quickly. We recommend reserving it in plenty of time.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: it expresses all its personality on simple grilled bread, but it is also ideal served raw with meat, soups made from pulses, wheat, meat carpaccio, and hearty pasta and rice dishes.
