Il Mercante d’Olio stands out not only for the quality of its oil but also for the refined design of its bottles, inspired by the beauty of the olive tree. Appreciated in luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants, it is perfect as a welcome gift.
The oil flows slowly
Mild and precious, pure and simple
Here it is, gently dripping and precious on the dishes. Il Mercante d’Olio means a bright green oil, dotted with golden reflections, converting on the palate into a smooth and balanced flavour. The beauty of pleasant fruity hints is released to the nose, with a balanced aftertaste of increasing bitter and spicy notes.
It is both a prestigious and simple oil. And versatile too: able to enhance the flavour of soups and first courses, as well as all sort of cheese, meat and grilled fish courses.
Il Mercante d'Olio
A man, a journey,
and the vibrant light of his dream
He was walking along the still sleepy Murano alleys in the early light of that day. In his pocket he had a notebook filled with words and two olive leaves pressed between the yellowed pages. The light of the fire could already be seen from the alley, beyond the fogged windows. He approached cautiously and lingered for a moment at the furnace door: there was the man, the power of the fire, the ability of the hand that forges slowly and precisely.
And there was the murrina: perfect yet imperfect, a small masterpiece of colours and transparencies. He saw it slide across the old wooden counter and roll all the way to the bottle. He picked it up and placed it on the cap. He watched it shine along with the golden oil. And he thought of his meadows up there, his woods, his olive trees, which at that same hour in the morning were vibrating for the frost and in the summer for the dew. He thought about his dream that was vibrating in the same way. And he felt happy.
