Bergamot Agrumato

In 2021 we started a collaboration with Mount Zero Olives to produce our yuzu agrumato. We’re so proud of this product and working with the team at Mount Zero has been a delight so it was natural that we gave making Bergamot Agrumato a try.

The term Agrumato is Italian in origin, and originally referred to a process developed in Abruzzo of simultaneously pressing citrus fruit with olives to produce flavoured olive oils.

The process is tedious and more expensive than just producing Extra Virgin Olive Oil. To make our Bergamot Agrumato, olives along with our locally grown ripe fresh bergamot were crushed and pressed simultaneously to produce this very special oil.

Whilst it is made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil unfortunately the cold pressed agrumato cannot be called “Extra Virgin”.

Bergamot agrumato’s unique fresh flavour is excellent on poultry or in salads or used in desserts. Try replacing half the olive oil in an Italian olive oil cake with bergamot agrumato and get ready for something magical! It may sound a bit strange but a tablespoon or so in milk before frothing and you’ve got a delicious drink or add it to custards.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and if you’d like to have a look at the other great products from Mount Zero click here
