Nudo Olive Oil with Sicilian Chillies 250ml
Nudo uses organic Sicilian chillies to bring some southern hot-headedness to their olive oil. The chillies are sun-dried so no desiccators, just 100% environmentally-friendly sunshine. They infuse the oil with the chillies for three weeks just long enough for the chilli flavour to assert itself, but not so long that it takes over. The end result is like a Sicilian donkey: a soft nose at the front and a cheeky kick at the back. Delicious on pasta, steak, and eggs.
This oil is packaged in tins to protect it from the sunlight and maintain the quality. Tin is also 57% recycled and weighs less than glass so has a smaller carbon footprint when shipped.
Producer: Corrado Corradini
Corrado and right hand man Tirenzio keep Mogliano and the nearby villages extremely well oiled. In the harvest season, this game pair have been known to clock up as many as three days without sleep as the oily wheels of the press turn twenty four hours a day. Corrado knows that when someone rocks up with their day’s harvest of olives, every second counts. The quicker those olives can be crushed into oil, the better the oil, simple as that. If that means a 4am pressing, then there’ll be no argument from him.
