Mimì Ogliarola is proof that delicacy can still have depth. Crafted exclusively from Ogliarola olives, this monocultivar extra virgin olive oil captures the softer, more graceful side of Puglia — an oil designed to enhance food, not compete with it.
On the nose, Mimì Ogliarola is clean, elegant and immediately inviting. Aromas of fresh almond lead, supported by light green notes of freshly cut grass and crisp lettuce.
Everything is fresh, precise and beautifully restrained.
On the palate, the oil is smooth and harmonious. Sweet, fresh almond flavours dominate, gently wrapped in subtle vegetal tones. The texture is soft and fluid, with bitterness and spiciness present but finely balanced — never intrusive, always controlled. The finish is clean, lightly peppered and refreshing, leaving the palate bright and ready for the next bite.
This is an oil defined by balance and finesse rather than force.
Mimì Ogliarola is at its best when paired with light, refined cuisine, where its subtlety can shine.
It is exceptional with seafood — drizzled raw over steamed, grilled or roasted fish, and perfect with shellfish and mollusc appetisers. Its almond notes complement the natural sweetness of seafood beautifully without masking flavour.
With vegetables, this oil excels. Use it to season boiled or steamed vegetables, vegetable carpaccio, or crisp salads featuring celery, fennel or fresh fruit, where its freshness adds clarity and lift.
In traditional Puglian style, it is delicious on Italian hard bread, poured generously over bruschetta, or used to finish light soups, where it adds softness and aroma without weight.
Mimì Ogliarola also pairs effortlessly with white meats, particularly steamed or grilled poultry, enhancing rather than overpowering delicate proteins.
For the adventurous, its gentle sweetness even allows it to cross into sweet applications — a drizzle over vanilla or almond-based ice cream offers a surprising and elegant contrast.
This is not an oil that shouts. It whispers — and food listens.
Mimì Ogliarola — elegant, gentle and beautifully Puglian.
