HOT ! Lucero Ascolano EVOO, 500 ml

Flavor & Enjoyment

Ascolano is our best loved oil for its unique aroma of peaches and tropical fruit with ripe fruit and green herbal flavors and a sweet finish. The 2024-2025 crop is highly aromatic with a medium intensity pungency. 

Our customers in Japan appreciate its fruity flavor with both sushi and tofu, and we think you will, too. Other pairings include fresh cheeses and other dairy such as yogurt, cottage cheese, or ice cream. The fruit fat from olive oil emulsifies readily with milk fat creating a natural affinity. 

About the Ascolano Variety of Olive

Lucero became know for Ascolano EVOO because Corning was a table olive town, and Ascolano olive trees were originally planted in our area in the middle of the last century for the table olive industry as they are a relatively large and tender variety. Indeed, they are almost exclusively known as table olives in their native land, Provincia Ascoli Piceno, in the Le Marche region of Italy. The centuries-old recipe for meat stuffed, deep fried ascolano olives has earned Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP) status as a protected origin food there.
