At Tenuta Maryamado, we strongly believe in enhancing and preserving gastronomic culture. Elevating culinary experiences requires careful consideration of every element, especially the sublime combination of olive oil and wine.
It's crucial to strike a balance between the flavours of the oil and the food, ensuring neither overpowers the other. To achieve this, it's important to consider both the aromas and flavours of the oil, as well as the ingredients used in the dish.
When it comes to preparing delicate dishes like white meat with ratatouille vegetables, it's essential to use an oil that complements the dish's sweet and subtle flavours. At Tenuta Maryamado, we recommend using our Frantoio extra virgin olive oil, which has understated sweet notes. For the perfect pairing, we suggest serving this dish with a glass of Verdicchio, a refreshing and light white wine that will further enhance the dish's delicate flavours.
If you're looking for a bold and intense flavour, we recommend our Leccio del Corno olive oil. With its notes of artichoke and olive leaf, and a finish with strong hints of bitter almond, this oil pairs perfectly with dishes like bruschetta with tomato, basil, and anchovies, or our linguine with anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes, burrata cheese, and toasted bread crumbs. To complete this pairing, we suggest serving a glass of Bolgheri Sassicaia.
For more complex dishes, our Intenso extra virgin olive oil is the perfect choice. With its notes of fresh almond and artichoke, and a moderately bitter and persistent taste, it pairs well with flavourful dishes like veal fillet with purple potatoes, turned vegetables, and poached berries. To complement this pairing, we recommend a glass of Bolgheri Superiore.
Our Delicato extra virgin olive oil, with its delicate astringency and notes of olive brine, is an excellent choice for pairing with refined flavours. We suggest trying it with a bruschetta topped with chickpea hummus, arugula leaves, and sun-dried tomatoes. To complete this pairing, we recommend serving a glass of white or rosé wine.
If you're looking for something more bold, our Pendolino extra virgin olive oil has notes of bitter almond and fresh herbs and is ideal with a flavourful entrée like marinated salmon crostini with avocado cream and lime. We suggest pairing this with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
For those who prefer a bit of spice, our Moraiolo extra virgin olive oil is the perfect choice. With its balsamic and thyme aromatic notes, it pairs well with gourmet pizzas topped with anchovies, piennolo tomatoes, and stracciatella cheese. We suggest completing this combination with a glass of red.
