A marriage of invigorating yuzu and fruity extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)—this is the simplest description of this superbly refreshing EVOO. Ogon no Mura, the producer of this oil, is a true yuzu citrus expert—they grow the citrus, develop and manufacture yuzu items, and market them from the heart of yuzu production, the Kito district of Tokushima Prefecture. They use locally grown, Geographical Indication (GI)-granted Kito yuzu, which is known to be the birthplace of yuzu trees grown across Japan. They press oil from the yuzu within 24 hours after harvesting, which ensures that it retains its fresh aroma and flavor. Then the yuzu oil is blended with mild and smooth Taggiasca EVOO from Liguria, Italy.
With a refreshing yuzu citrus aroma and a hint of fruitiness, Yuzu Extra Virgin Olive Oil is perfect finishing oil, complementing salads, bread, grilled dishes, and even desserts! No chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used for growing the yuzu, and this oil is additive-free.
