ORGANIC EVO OIL: A TASTE ALL ITS OWN
“Ecceamerica and the quality that sorrounds all the senses” an opportunity to catch in 13 American restaurants
Did you know that Extra Virgin Olive Oils can be assorted like wines? Everyone, not just star chefs, can take advantage of the enormous potential of pairing different varieties of Extra Virgin Olive Oil with food, turning simple dishes into extraordinary culinary experiences. Each EVO Oil tells a unique story, carries distinctive aromas and can enhance the taste of dishes, just as it does with wines.
This is where the magic lies: each dish has its own oil and each oil has its own category of dishes!
From October 20 to November 1, 2024, 13 restaurants across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut will offer their customers an extraordinary opportunity to experience firsthand this new take on EVO Oil. Thanks to 140 days of guided tastings, diners will be able to immerse themselves in the flavors and traditions that make each Extra Virgin Olive Oil unique, which additionally carries the European BIO Certification, recognizable by the little leaf with the 12 stars.
The initiative, promoted as part of the Ecceamerica campaign, is part of a three-year project by Unaprol – Consorzio Olivicolo Italiano – and CAP, Confederação dos Agricultores de Portugal, co-financed by the European Union according to EU Reg. 1144/2014. The project aims to bring the authenticity and excellence of European products directly into the hands of North American consumers, promoting not only organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but also certified organic wine.
