DeCarlo DOP Tenuta Arcamone organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

DeCarlo Tenuta Arcamone is a bold, uncompromising expression of southern Italy at its most powerful — a premium, award-winning organic extra virgin olive oil crafted exclusively from Coratina olives grown in the sun-drenched heart of Puglia. This is not an oil that whispers; it speaks with authority. Born from a single estate and a single cultivar, Tenuta Arcamone captures the raw energy of Coratina — a variety revered for its naturally high polyphenol content of 949 mg/kg, structure and longevity. For a very high polyphenol oil, this oil is very approachable. Meticulous organic farming, early harvesting and precision milling ensure every drop delivers intensity, balance and unmistakable character, making this oil a reference point for lovers of robust, high-phenolic EVOO.

Tasting Profile

Aroma
Elegant yet commanding, the nose opens with layered vegetal aromas — fresh field herbs, wild chicory and cut grass — followed by lifted notes of mint, rosemary and sage. Subtle hints of green almond and artichoke add depth and complexity, creating a beautifully composed aromatic profile.

Flavour
On the palate, Tenuta Arcamone is structured, vibrant and full of personality. A pronounced yet refined bitterness builds steadily, perfectly balanced by a long, assertive peppery finish that lingers at the back of the throat — the unmistakable signature of a high-polyphenol Coratina oil. Powerful, but never aggressive, this is balance through strength.

Colour & Texture
Visually striking, it shows a limpid, intense golden-yellow hue with delicate green reflections. The mouthfeel is rich and full, reinforcing its sense of depth and seriousness.

Food Pairing

Tenuta Arcamone is a finishing oil made for confident cooking — designed to elevate dishes with structure and substance rather than disappear into them. Its bold profile enhances robust ingredients and brings clarity and lift to rich flavours.

Perfect pairings include:

• Vegetables: Chargrilled or roasted vegetables, porcini mushrooms, vegetable gratins, tomato salads
• Soups & Legumes: Mixed pulse soups, minestrone, hearty vegetable soups, puréed beans
• Meat & Fish: Baked tuna, grilled poultry, roast rabbit, salmon salads, and red meat including Florentine steak
• Pasta & Grains: Artichoke risotto, fresh pasta, boiled beans, grilled potatoes
• Cheese & Bread: Fresh string cheeses or simply poured generously over exceptional bread

How to Use

This is an oil best enjoyed raw or as a finishing touch — where its aromatic complexity and health-giving polyphenols can truly shine. Heat will mute its voice; drizzle it last and let it speak.

A highly effective Nutraceutical, can be taken by the Tablespoon full morning and night for health benefits (25ml twice daily).

DeCarlo Tenuta Arcamone is Coratina in its purest, most confident form — intense, elegant and unapologetically southern Italian.
