As a child, Nunzio Bastone tended to his familys olive trees with his grandfather and ten years ago he decided to resurrect olive oil production on his familys land. Made from a blend of three different olive varietals, each pressed on its own and only blended at the time of bottling. This takes more work, but to Nunzio's mind, it doesn't taste as good if the varietals are mixed before the bottling stage, and based on the flavor we are not going to argue. Aulente Olive Oil is buttery and smooth with a late hit of pepper in the finish and is an excellent choice for a variety of uses including a finishing oil on salads, pasta or even steak.
