Acushla Green Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 500ml Glass Bottle

Balanced with a peppery finish. Cold extracted, PDO Tras-os-Montes, organic. Dark glass keeps it fresh.

Acushla is what happens when a family decides to do one thing and do it exceptionally well. Cold extracted from centenarian and native olive trees in the Tras-os-Montes region of Portugal, every bottle is organic, PDO certified, and produced at one of the only facilities in Portugal to hold FSSC22000 food safety certification. If you have only ever cooked with supermarket olive oil, this will change how you think about it.

Tasting notes

Balanced and lively. Green tomato leaf, artichoke and a hint of green banana, then a peppery finish that catches the back of your throat for a second. That tickle is the polyphenols. It means the oil is fresh.

How to use it

A finishing oil first, a cooking oil second. Pour it on after the heat is off: over soup, grilled fish, a bowl of pasta, a plate of sliced tomatoes. It also makes a serious vinaigrette. Use 1 to 2 teaspoons per plate to finish. The dark glass protects it from light; keep it away from the stove.

Pairs with

Burrata and tomatoes, grilled fish, white beans, minestrone, crusty bread and salt, a squeeze of lemon.

Try this: Pane e olio, the way it should be

Tear a loaf of good bread. Pour a puddle of Green into a shallow bowl. Add a pinch of flaky salt and, if you want, a few grinds of black pepper. Dip. That's the recipe. If the oil tastes bitter and peppery and a little grassy, you are doing it right.
