One puts himself at risk when trying out “flavored” oils.
The disappointment can be devastating.
But glancing at the label of this “Etruria” Organic Orange Oil from Umbria, I was pleasantly surprised.
Ingredients: Olives, Fresh Oranges
I was surprised because it actually tastes the way you’d expect!
-just like the peel of an orange, a sweet citrusy fragrance and with just a touch of bitterness.
It’s just the kind of flavor I typically prefer to grace the tops of my Manhattans, -rather than cherries.
But more important to you…
It also holds up quite well,
when accompanied by Fresh Sage, Butter and Tagliatelle!
Hmmmm, might have to work on a fall cocktail with orange peel AND fresh a sage leaf, later tonight.
Also today:
Spaghettini, alla “Siciliana”
Malloreddus, with Tuscan kale, tomato and Italian sausage
