The cultivation of olive trees in the Salento district goes back to the 7th century. In the reign of Emperor Augustus, the cultivation of olive trees was the primary job of the people of Salento. In this pleasant place called Lizzanello, the Calogiuri family dedicated themselves to olives and oil for generations (since 1825). Gianni Calogiuri, is the latest generation of the Calogiuri family. Respectful of family traditions, in the month of November, their crusher cold crushes the olives with care and extracts the oil with the method of “Affiorato” (surfacing).

We carry six infused extra virgin olive oils from Gianni Calogiuri:

Lemon: This oil is excellent to season green salads and fish.
Rosemary: This oil is suitable to aromatize roasted meats and boiled meats.
Garlic: This oil is great for seasoning bruschetta, fish, and shellfish.
Oregano: This oil is perfect on pizza, pecorino cheeses and with base dishes of tomato.
Chili: This oil gives flavor to sauces, seasons meat, pasta, or try drizzled on cheese.
Orange:Delicious on seafood and poultry (duck especially!).

Bottom Line:

I enjoyed the light, fresh flavors of each of the herbs, basil, lemon, orange, rosemary, garlic, and oregano. The infused extra virgin olive oils are strong enough to taste the difference, light enough not to change the flavor of the main dish served. The bottles are attractive too.
