Dauno Gargano (Apulia) This is a new range of typical oils from different regions of Italy (Umbria, Sicily and Apulia) obtained from the most precious varietes of olives and characterized by pleasant fruity flavours and fragrances. The astounding characteristics of all these oils are such to deserve the recognition of Denomination of Protected origin (D.O.P.) and Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) from the European Union. They are particularly indicated for a raw use especially on fresh or grilled vegetables, grilled meat and fish, and in general for dressings and finishing.

Fragrance: Fruity, grassy / Flavour: Medium fruitiness, fresh almong aftertaste / Density: Full bodied / Color: Green to yellow / Acidity: 0.3% less than a third of the maximum allowed by law (0.8%)               What D.O.P. means D.O.P. – Denominazione di Origine Protetta – is an indication of quality awarded to an agricultural or food product whose particular characteristics of excellence depend exclusively on the area where it is produced. D.O.P. products are unique and cannot be copied because they are the result of specific factors, either natural such as soil, climate or local variety, or human such as the techniques and traditions of production and manufacture, which can in no way be replicated outside the area selected by the D.O.P.   D.O.P. products benefit from care and protection against counterfeits throughout the whole of the European Union. Producers who obtain the D.O.P. recognition must hold rigorously to a particular ‘discipline of production’ and must submit to tests by an ‘Ente di Certificazioneindipendente’ who continually check conformity with the ‘discipline of production’. Finally, the Consorzio di Tutela oversees the marketing of D.O.P. products. Only 132 typical products (cheese, salami, fruit and vegetables, spices, olive oil) are recognized as D.O.P. in Italy. All these factors constitute a very reliable guarantee for the consumer who is rarely able to find such reassurance in the daily range of food products on offer. To give an idea of the high quality that this represents in the area of olive oil, only 1.9% of Italian production comes under the label of D.O.P. or I.G.P.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      We combine shipping!I will ship items through USPS within 3 business days of payment.
