Bring the best out of any dish by pairing it with the right Olio Taibi monocultivar olive oil

Recipes calling for "olive oil" implicitly state that any olive oil would do because all olive oils are made equal. Right? Wrong! That would be the same as stating that all wines are made equal. Instead, we know that grape varietal, terroir, and vintage make all the difference when choosing what to drink with a dish. The simple rule of thumb is "red wine on red meat, and white wine on fish and salads". But that is the tip of the iceberg. We prefer "Nero d'Avola on hearty beef stew" and "Grillo on busiate pasta with sea urchin and pistachio". Not surprisingly, similar considerations apply for olive oil.

With the "Base Pairings" lookup table we provide a starting point for pairing Olio Taibi monocultivar olive oils with some of the most common ingredients such as red meat, fish, cheese, salads, and desserts. In addition, we handpick a mix of classic and innovative recipes from the web, and pair them with one of our monocultivar olive oils.
