Good quality Olive Oil is paramount for "finishing off" dishes and Salad, also lovely for dipping contiental breads in! When I was in Lidl last week, I noticed they had a new type of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on offer for €4.99. It is called "Deluxe,
Italian Monocultivar Extra Virgin Olive Oil" from Biancolilla Olives.
On the back label it says that the Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made predominately from Biancolilla Olives, harvested in the 2008/2009 vintage. We went straight on to the web and found that these Olives are mainly found in Sicily. The oil is very good and for €4.99 a STEAL!
Sicily is known for producing very nice oils. A lot of hot blood competition with the Tuscans!
Has anyone being able to find a Puglian Olive Oil, I keep coming across recipees that call for it?
We have tried Fallon and Byrne, Sheridans and M&S and no Luck!
On the same shelf, again by "Deluxe", was a packet of Risotto Carnaroli con Tartufo, I believe "Tartfuo" is a type of truffle/mushroom. Well. we had the risotto with the left over Easter Pork, cooked with Chicken stock and it was soo good!! €1.99 from Lidl.
