Viola Tradizione Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

Tradizione is exactly that — Viola’s classic expression of Umbrian olive oil, crafted for everyday use but never ordinary. This medium-intensity, multi-varietal EVOO brings together the region’s most important cultivars to deliver balance, freshness and versatility in every pour.

Produced in Sant’Eraclio di Foligno, at the heart of Umbria, Tradizione blends Moraiolo, Frantoio and Leccino. Each olive plays its role: Moraiolo brings structure and bite, Frantoio adds aromatics and clarity, while Leccino softens the edges and rounds the finish.

Tasting Profile

In the glass, Tradizione shows a fresh green colour with golden reflections, hinting at its balance and vitality.

On the nose, it is ample and inviting, packed with classic Umbrian aromatics — artichoke, field herbs, basil, sage and rosemary, lifted by subtle notes of white almond and wild mint.

On the palate, the oil is smooth, fine and enveloping. Vegetal flavours of thistle and mint unfold first, followed by a clean, food-friendly black pepper spice. Bitterness and pungency are present but perfectly measured, finishing with a gentle almond note that keeps everything in harmony.

This is an oil that works with food, not against it.

Food Pairing — The Ultimate All-Rounder

Tradizione is built for both cooking and finishing, making it one of the most versatile oils in the Viola range.

Use it raw to finish grilled radicchio, raw vegatables, artichoke salads with Parmesan, tuna and vegetable or legume soups.

In the kitchen, it performs beautifully as a base for pasta and risotto, meat ragù, shellfish in red sauce, and even pan-frying or shallow-frying fish, where its balance holds up without heaviness.

It’s also a natural match for roasted or grilled vegetables, red meats, and aged cheeses, adding depth and freshness without overpowering the dish.

This is the oil you keep on the bench.
Reliable. Expressive. Unmistakably Umbrian.

Viola Tradizione — classic balance, built for real cooking.
