Overview
Not a mild all purpose cooking oil, Primo is a bold extra virgin oil pressed from early harvest Tonda Iblea olives in southern Sicily. Green tomato, herb and almond notes come through when it is drizzled on bread, salads or grilled meat.
Its intense fruit and spice make simple foods like bruschetta and soup taste finished. Using it for everyday frying wastes its character, and its strength may overwhelm subtle flavors.
Who it's for
Cooks who use olive oil as a finishing flavor will taste the difference on bruschetta and minestrone. People who want an oil that disappears into a dish should choose a milder olive oil.
Pros and cons
- Intense fruity flavor
- Single variety early harvest

- Harvest date not listed
Performance notes
Early green harvest olives give more bitterness and pepper, and pressing within hours of harvest holds onto fresh aroma. Heat mutes those notes, so it shines most when added at the end. Glass protects the oil, but light and warmth still dull it over time.
