There are many good extra virgin olive oils available from Italy, but few that will change the way you think about olive oil altogether. In the hills overlooking Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, Alfredo Mancianti produces some of Italy's finest and most distinctive olive oils including the rare "Affiorato" which may be the finest olive oil produced anywhere.
The San Feliciano is a wonderfully fragrant oil with a lively pungent tang balanced by the flavors of artichokes and almonds. This complexity makes San Feliciano the perfect condiment to almost anything and this exceptional oil can turn simple grilled bread into a feast. Go out of your way to find Mancianti oils.
Where can you buy this oil in the US?
