These notes of freshness are confirmed in the flavor on the palate. Maurino extra virgin olive oil also provides a pleasant sensation of green tomatoes and a tardy pungency in the throat.Recommended combinations: Maurino oil combines perfectly with fish dishes, as well as with “fragrant” recipes such as fennel, orange and fresh pecorino cheese, carpaccio, cold rice salads and baked tomatoes.Der Feinschmecker, Gambero Rosso, Slow Food and Merum have all bestowed significant prizes
