The Harmonious Signature of Oleificio Tiso
True gastronomy is all about balance, and that is precisely what this Olio Extravergine di Oliva embodies. Whilst a single-varietal oil seeks out the unique, pronounced extremes of a single olive variety, this classic extra virgin olive oil is, in fact, a superb blend. To create it, the Tiso family selects and combines the finest organic olive varieties from the Campania region. The result is an oil that does not overpower, but elegantly enhances every ingredient on your plate.
In the glass, the oil shows a beautiful, clear golden-yellow colour with vibrant green hues. The bouquet is refined, inviting, and softly fruity with notes of almond and fresh herbs. On the palate, this blend excels with its silky smooth, round texture, perfectly integrated mild bitterness, and an elegant finish.
Artisanal Extraction & Quality
The selection of indigenous olive varieties is processed through a continuous-cyclic extraction process to ensure quality:
Organic Harvest: Careful picking of traditional organic olives in Southern Italy.
Cold Extraction: Mechanically pressed under strict thermal control (< 27°C) to prevent oxidation.
Directly Filtered: Bottled in dark glass for a stable and rounded organoleptic profile.
Culinary Advice & Pairings
Classic Salads & Carpaccio: Gives dressings a rich, velvety texture.
Fish, Poultry & White Meat: A subtle accompaniment that enhances rather than masks the delicate flavours.
Pasta & Risotto: Perfect for drizzling over Spaghetti al Pomodoro or a creamy vegetable risotto just before serving.
Dipper with bread: Irresistible with a pinch of sea salt and artisan sourdough bread.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between this Extra Virgin Blend and the Monovarietal Ravece?
The Monovarietale Ravece is made from 100% one olive variety and is very intense, green and peppery (green tomato/artichoke). This Extra Virgin is a harmonious blend of multiple varieties. The Ravece is used as a powerful flavour enhancer over robust dishes; this blend is precisely the ideal, more accessible all-rounder for everyday use.
Can I also use this oil for cooking?
Yes, this oil is excellent for cold applications and mild warm preparations, such as sautéing vegetables or building a gentle pasta sauce over low to medium heat. Do not use it for frying or searing to prevent the loss of subtle aromas.
How should I best store this olive oil?
Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The dark glass bottle protects the oil from light exposure.

The story of the Extra Virgin Blend from Oleificio Tiso:
The story behind Oleificio Tiso’s Extra Virgin Blend: This Olio Extravergine di Oliva is a carefully crafted master blend of native southern Italian olive varieties, cultivated in accordance with certified organic farming standards (EU Regulation). Oleificio Tiso employs a continuous-cycle extraction process under strict temperature control (< 27°C) to minimise oxidative degradation. Whereas single-varietal oils focus on specific phenolic peaks, this blend aims for a balanced ratio of oleic acid, natural antioxidants and volatile aldehydes, resulting in a more stable and rounded organoleptic profile.
