This summer, it's all about aperitivo.
A drizzle of liquid gold to elevate your summer evenings.
Aperitivo is not just a staple of Italian culture. Whether they call it meze, aperitif or something else, our European neighbours know how to enjoy those golden hours in the sun. Small, simple dishes built on good ingredients, shared amongst great company.
That’s where extra virgin olive oil comes in—it's the ideal partner to those easy to prepare, perfect for sharing dishes.
Put the ‘EVOO’ in aperitivo.
There are three integral elements to aperitivo: bitter, salty and fatty. The bitter part often comes in the form of a drink—think Aperol, negroni—while the salt and fat are mainly in the snacks. In fact, in its simplest form, aperitivo could be nothing more than a drink, some bread and a dish of extra virgin olive oil sprinkled with salt. But of course, we want to go a little extra.
So, for all those ‘I don’t cook, I just assemble’ people—we see you, and we raise our Aperol olive oil spritz cocktail to you—here’s a minimal prep, maximal flavour, way to enjoy golden hour.
The EVOO you need this summer.
Bring style and substance to your table with our limited edition golden hour bottle. 100% Cerasuola olives, crafted by Francesca in Syracuse, this vibrant oil deserved an equally lively design. We couldn’t think of a better artist than Hal Haines, who is known for his colourful, expressive work and is the artist in residence for Casa Lawa in Sicily this summer. His bold brushstrokes were inspired by Francesca’s landscape, where lemon trees, bougainvillaea, and prickly pears grow beside her family olive groves.
With pairing notes of anchovy, lemon pasta, and rocket salads, our Sicilian olive oil is the ideal pour for aperitivo and al fresco summer dining.
