Trampetti

It's been a while since we posted a review. We are still hard at work and on pace for our 2013 launch. A few weeks ago we went to our local central market (I find myself now going directly to the olive oil section in every grocery store) and bought this bottle. It is Trampetti Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is from the Umbria region of Northern Italy and is milled from Moriaolo olives. Trampetti is picked, milled, and bottled in one day. As you will notice the bottle is wrapped in foil. This is the producers attempt to protect the oil against harmful light that causes olive oil to spoil. It also makes for a nice bottle, which my wife likes!

In terms of taste we really enjoy this oil for a number of reasons. The first is that it is a complex oil that has good grassy notes and a peppery finish, which is a characteristic we prefer. It also has hints of artichoke in it. I did read online that some notice apple hints in it, however we did not get that. I think the thing we enjoy most about Trampetti is that it is very smooth and well balanced.Some very vibrant tasting oils can be over powering. So when Sarah and I have had our fix of really strong olive oil Trampetti is a nice go to for complex flavor but a smoother finish. One of the supplier we are looking at carries this oil and we hope to be able to add it to the line up in the future.
