The oil itself is excellent and the lemon flavor is just right--stronger than the stuff that you might get in a local grocer's, at least here in Texas--but it doesn't have a processed, chemical taste. I find that using it as the only oil in a vinaigrette is too strong, and so you needn't go to the expense, but if it comprises a fourth to a half of the oil, and if the other oil is good, the balance is quite nice. In fact, if the acid in the vinaigrette is a good sherry vinegar, the flavor of the lemon in the oil is more noticeable than the vinegar.
Product Description
Agrumato oils stem from an ancient culinary tradition of Abruzzo, on the Adriatic sea. Farmers for centuries have crushed small quantities of olives with lemons for use in their own homes. All the olives are harvested by hand and the citrus picked at a perfect ripeness. The olives and fruit are crushed using a tradition stone mill. This crushing produces a paste which is pressed with low pressure and the juice centrifuged to release the water from the oil. Only the oil from this first pressing is used, as it is the most intense and flavorful. This rare olive oil is golden green in color with a wonderful citrus aroma.
