This Shrimp & Citrus Ceviche features L’oro Dell’Ulivo of Olivia Umma.

The extra Virgin Olive OiL L’ORO DELL’ULIVO is from Puglia, Italy. It is cold extracted, fruity and within the unfiltered category. This oil is like gold dripping from the olives of Salento, Puglia, and has a determined aftertaste with bitter and fruity notes.

It is a multi-varietal product resulting from the selection of cold-pressed green olives from Greater Salento (Nardo’, Lecce). As a bonus, it integrates family production with low environmental impact, according to a 2020 oil campaign.

That said, you’ll have to taste the difference for yourself! Perhaps with this ceviche recipe? *wink wink*
