Myrtle Seasoning
The “Mirto di Sardegna” extra virgin olive oil is a unique and extraordinary product, obtained through a traditional method that consists of grinding olives together with myrtle berries and leaves. Myrtle, the quintessential wild herb of Sardinia, is a symbol of the local flora and carries the essence of the land and Sardinian culture. Its deep-blue berries and aromatic leaves give the oil a fresh note and a slightly bitter aftertaste, making it the perfect seasoning to enhance the island’s traditional dishes.
In the kitchen, myrtle olive oil pairs beautifully with a wide variety of foods.
Recommended pairings:
Fish: exceptional on grilled fish. A must-try on fresh tuna steak-the delicacy and fragrance of this oil create a magical touch.
Meat: ideal with lamb, pork, veal, boiled meats, and game, as the aromatic notes of myrtle blend beautifully with the meat, adding a distinctive and original character.
Cheese: a drizzle over aged Sardinian pecorino creates a truly irresistible harmony of flavors.
Innovative pairings:
Cocktails: myrtle oil can also be used in mixology, adding a note of freshness and aromatics to drinks. For example, a gin and tonic can be elevated with just a few drops of myrtle oil, enhancing the botanical notes of the gin. You can also experiment with a cocktail made with vodka, lemon juice, and myrtle oil, creating a fresh and aromatic drink that will surprise your guests.
The “Mirto di Sardegna” extra virgin olive oil is not only a key ingredient in Sardinian cuisine but also a versatile product to explore in innovative culinary and mixology creations. Discovering its flavors is a sensory journey that celebrates the richness and biodiversity of Sardinia.
