Figueroa Farms Camino al Cielo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This blend of California Varietals has received multiple gold and silver medals over the years. It was chosen among the World's Best Oils by the German magazine "Der Feinschmecker" two years in a row. It has been recommended by the Italian expert, Marco Oreggia, in his books "Guide L'Extravergine" several years as well. Camino impresses immediately due to finesse rather than boldness. A melange of layered flavors including notes of fresh cut grass and toasted straw finely integrated with peppery polyphenol anti-oxidants. Clean and lithe on the palate, it is subtle due to its perfect balance and yet, the layers of flavor complexity continue on for great length in the finish.
This is a good all-purpose olive oil because it adds mild flavor to your favorite recipes without overwhelming other ingredients. Marco Oreggia recommends it on salad of fresh calamari, beef carpaccio, baked mushrooms, boiled vegetables, mussels topped with grilled cheese, vegetable soup, and grilled meat.
Camino al Cielo is certified extra virgin by the California Olive Oil Council. In addition to its certification, Figueroa Farms contributes 5% for every bottle sold to support the California Olive Oil Council's efforts towards truth in labeling for all olive oil sold in the U.S.
Figueroa Farms is our home and is based in the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara County, California, at the foot of Figueroa Mountain. The rolling hills of Santa Ynez Valley share the same latitude, climate, and conditions as the renowned olive regions of Italy and Spain. Olive groves thrive here, and we think that one day Santa Ynez Valley will rival the world's prime olive oil-producing regions. We have 4,500 olive trees and a state of the art mill. We make all the Figueroa Farms oils ourselves here from our fruit and neighboring orchards and have won many awards, national and international, over the years.
Due to a shortage of the 750ml glass bottle, this item will actually ship as two 375ml bottles.
