This is Coratina in full voice. Bold, green and unapologetically intense, Mimì Coratina is a power oil made for those who love structure, bitterness and that unmistakable peppery kick that tells you you’re dealing with a high-quality, high-polyphenol EVOO.
On the nose, the oil is ample and enveloping, bursting with fresh, vegetal aromatics. Think olive leaf, artichoke and green almond, layered with elegant spicy notes that hint at the intensity to come.
On the palate, Mimì Coratina delivers exactly what Coratina lovers crave. Leafy greens, wild chicory and cardoon dominate, bold and assertive, yet beautifully controlled. A clean fresh-almond note follows, adding depth and balance.
The finish is long, powerful and unmistakable. Bitterness and pungency move in perfect harmony, building gradually in the throat with a sharp, lingering pepperiness — the signature sign of a Coratina rich in polyphenols. This is an oil that doesn’t fade quietly; it announces itself.
Mimì Coratina is a finishing oil, designed to elevate dishes with strong flavour and solid structure. Use it where you want the oil to be felt, not hidden.
Drizzle it over grilled or roasted red meats, slow-cooked stews or lamb, where its bitterness cuts through richness beautifully. It’s outstanding on beef carpaccio, especially when paired with porcini mushrooms, and pairs confidently with hard, aged cheeses.
For raw applications, it shines on fish or meat tartare, adding freshness, bite and complexity.
Vegetable dishes love this oil. Pour it generously over hearty legume soups, lentils or beans. It’s a natural match for bitter greens — spinach, radicchio, rocket and chicory — and spectacular on grilled or roasted vegetables, especially artichokes and radicchio.
In classic Puglian fashion, it is sensational on orecchiette with wild greens, and powerful enough to hold its own over pasta with rich meat ragù. Drizzle it over bruschetta or croutons, particularly with tomato or mushroom toppings, and don’t hesitate to finish pizza just before serving.
It also adds backbone to tomato-based sauces, pestos and marinades, lifting flavour and adding complexity.
This is not a subtle oil. It’s an oil for people who love flavour with conviction.
Mimì Coratina — bold Puglian energy, finished with fire.
