At Filii, our extra virgin olive oil stems from a passion deeply rooted in time, safeguarding family traditions handed down from generation to generation. Our three lines—Verde, Bianca, and Rossa—embody different expressions of the same raw material, where meticulous care at every stage, from harvesting to pressing, creates unique flavor nuances. Verde oil is distinguished by its light, harmonious profile, offering a delicate fruitiness that gently caresses the palate and a barely noticeable hint of spiciness. It’s ideal for drizzling over raw vegetables, salads, and fish dishes, as it enhances each ingredient without overshadowing its essence.
Bianca, by contrast, provides a more pronounced balance among fruity, bitter, and spicy notes, making it the perfect choice for recipes that call for an oil capable of blending with other flavors without dominating them. It pairs beautifully with tomato sauces, white meats, creamy soups, and even legumes, imparting a lingering, elegant aroma. Rossa showcases the boldest and most decisive character of extra virgin olive oil, offering a structured body and intense flavor that finds a perfect match in red meats, aged cheeses, and legume soups. Its bitter and spicy notes stand out more clearly, balancing robust dishes and enhancing their organoleptic qualities.
To best appreciate these nuances, it’s recommended to add the oil mainly raw, at the end of cooking or just before serving, so as to preserve its natural properties and aromas. It’s also crucial to keep the bottles away from light and heat, ensuring that flavors and beneficial qualities remain intact. From the delicate caress of Verde to the balanced persistence of Bianca, and finally the aromatic strength of Rossa, choosing the right oil brings character and uniqueness to any dish, transforming a simple condiment into a genuine sensory experience.
