This year, Gambero Rosso<\/strong><\/em><\/a> structure also chose as its partner the PGI<\/strong><\/em> oil<\/strong> from Puglia<\/strong>, a flagship product<\/strong> that embodies the richness of the olive culture<\/strong> of this region of southern Italy<\/strong>. At this occasion, the PGI<\/strong><\/em> extra virgin Olio di Puglia<\/strong><\/em> olive oil was honored at the event<\/strong>. This product is the result of a collective<\/strong> approach aimed at strengthening the identity of the Puglia olive<\/strong> sector. From production<\/strong> to bottling<\/strong>, each step complies with rigorous specifications<\/strong>, guaranteeing an oil<\/strong> of exceptional quality. Therefore, the PGI<\/em> extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> of Puglia<\/strong> is distinguished by a wide variety of sensory<\/strong> characteristics, the result of the many indigenous cultivars<\/strong>, grown throughout the region <\/strong>(photo credits: IGP Puglia<\/em><\/a>). <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"This event<\/strong> was also an opportunity to discover the PGI<\/em> olive oil<\/strong> from Puglia<\/strong> in perfect harmony with a fine selection of dishes<\/strong>, prepared in the Parisian Italian<\/strong> themed Il Vicolo<\/strong><\/em><\/a> restaurant, located on Rue Mazarine<\/strong><\/em>, in the heart of the Latin Quarter<\/strong><\/em>. This restaurant<\/strong>, run by Loredana Schettino<\/strong>, of Tuscan<\/strong> and Neapolitan<\/strong> origin, in collaboration with her sons Luca<\/strong> and Francesco<\/strong>, offers refined traditional Italian<\/strong> cuisine<\/strong>. Supported by chef Maurizio Carlucci<\/strong>, as well originally from Puglia<\/strong>, brilliantly combines local<\/strong> products and Mediterranean<\/strong> flavors to offer a modern interpretation of Italian cuisine<\/em><\/strong>. The menu at Il Vicolo<\/strong><\/em> reflects this fusion of land<\/strong> and sea<\/strong>, and the pairing of wines<\/strong> and olive oils<\/strong> was carefully designed to enhance each dish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"The event<\/strong> provided an opportunity to taste several exceptional olive oils<\/strong>, including the PGI<\/strong><\/em> Puglia<\/strong>‘s Frantoio Guglielmi<\/strong><\/em><\/a> oil, a product of incomparable quality<\/strong>. This extra virgin oil<\/strong> has a bitter and spicy taste<\/strong> that brings out all the power of the Puglia<\/strong><\/em> terroir. With a low<\/strong> acidity<\/strong> (0.22%), it stands out for its balance between aromas of fresh grass<\/strong>, artichoke<\/strong> and tomato<\/strong>, and its velvety texture obtained by cold extraction<\/strong>. This oil<\/strong> was served with black-eyed<\/strong><\/em> white beans<\/strong>, flavored with some shellfish<\/strong> essence, thus offering a unique savorful<\/strong> experience.<\/p>\n

Another star oil<\/strong> of this tasting<\/strong>, the Le 4 Contrade<\/strong><\/em><\/a> oil embodies the joy of a sunny afternoon<\/strong> in Puglia<\/strong><\/em>. Its taste<\/strong> profile, fruity<\/strong> with notes of tomato<\/strong> and cut grass<\/strong>, makes it an ideal accompaniment<\/strong> to light dishes<\/strong> such as burrata<\/strong><\/em> or seafood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As far as we know, the October 2024<\/strong> harvest captured the intensity of Mediterranean<\/strong> flavors, and this oil<\/strong> was served with cuttlefish<\/strong> tagliolini<\/strong><\/em>, bathed into an almond<\/strong> broth, fermented Jerusalem<\/em> artichoke<\/strong> and lemon<\/strong>, a perfect marriage of freshness<\/strong> and complexity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Adding to this, De Carlo<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s IGP Puglia<\/strong><\/em><\/a> extra virgin oil<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a true invitation to discover the soul of the Puglia<\/strong><\/em> region. Made from a blend of olive<\/strong> varieties, such as Coratina<\/strong><\/em>, Ogliarola Barese<\/strong><\/em>, Leccino<\/strong><\/em> and Peranzana<\/strong><\/em>, this oil<\/strong> has a fresh aroma<\/strong> with hints of grass<\/strong> and almond<\/strong>. Its mild and balanced taste<\/strong>, with subtle bitter<\/strong> and spicy<\/strong> notes, makes it a versatile<\/strong> product in the kitchen<\/strong>, perfect to accompany fish<\/strong> based specialities<\/strong>, but also bruschetta<\/strong><\/em> or legumes<\/strong>. In this tasting<\/strong> time, this item was harmoniously paired with orecchiette<\/strong><\/em>, married with chilli pepper<\/strong> and roasted turnip cymette<\/strong><\/em>, highlighting the authenticity of another Italian<\/strong> cuisine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the IGP Olio di Puglia oil<\/strong><\/em> by Nicola Pantaleo<\/strong><\/a> was also highlighted, with its unique sensory<\/strong> characteristics, again from the olive groves<\/strong> of Puglia<\/strong>. For your information, cold extracted<\/strong>, it offers a perfectly balanced spicy<\/strong> and bitter<\/strong> taste, ideal for use raw on vegetables<\/strong> or fish<\/strong>. This olive oil<\/strong> was accompanied by yellowtail<\/strong> confit, of course drown into oil<\/strong>, fresh oregano<\/strong>, nearby caper<\/strong> foam, roasted artichokes<\/strong> and lovage<\/strong> sauce, for a delicate and refined combination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The event<\/strong> concluded with a sweet touch<\/strong> once again with Le 4 Contrade<\/strong><\/em> oil, used to accompany a dessert of panna cotta<\/strong><\/em>, flavored this time with smoked cardamom<\/strong>, accompanied with blood orange<\/strong> and caramelized hazelnuts<\/strong>. A perfect example of the versatility of these olive oils<\/strong>, associated here in refined gastronomic<\/strong> pairings<\/strong>. As you can see, this event<\/strong> was a unique opportunity to discover the richness of Puglia<\/strong>‘s wines<\/strong> and olive oils<\/strong>, in an intimate and prestigious setting<\/strong>. It highlighted the excellence of illustrious Italian<\/strong> products, both in the wine<\/strong> and olive<\/strong> sectors, thus offering a true gustative<\/strong> experience.<\/p>\n
