WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GRAN CRU E RESERVE BLEND?
Each offers a unique tasting experience, tailored to different culinary moments.
Olive Oil Flavor
Gran Cru – Mild, elegant, and herbaceous. Crafted for subtlety, it’s made from a refined blend and gently filtered for clarity. Ideal for fresh, light dishes that allow its grassy and almond notes to shine.
Reserve Blend – Intense, structured, and vegetal. With its deeper intensity and lingering peppery finish, it’s designed to enhance bold, rustic, and richly flavored recipes — the kind that call for character and depth.
Both oils are cold-pressed within hours of harvest and produced in limited quantities in Sicily, delivering a true expression of Italian excellence in every drop.
DESCRIPTION
The Gourmet Duo brings together Oleaviva’s two signature extra virgin olive oils — Gran Cru and Reserve Blend — crafted in small batches from organically farmed groves in Sicily. Both oils are hand-harvested and cold-pressed within hours to preserve freshness, complexity, and a high concentration of antioxidants.
Gran Cru offers a mild and elegant profile, with notes of green tomato, fresh almond, and aromatic herbs — ideal for delicate preparations such as seafood crudo, vegetable carpaccio, fresh cheeses, and seasonal salads.
Reserve Blend delivers a more intense and structured flavor, with deeper vegetal notes, a lingering peppery finish, and remarkable depth — perfect for grilled meats, hearty soups, rustic pasta dishes, and bold Mediterranean cuisine.
