Description

A vibrant hand-painted ceramic bottle inspired by the colours, light and landscape of the Mediterranean, filled with Muraglia’s intensely fruity Coratina extra virgin olive oil

Produced in Andria, Puglia, by five generations of the Muraglia family, the oil is made exclusively from Coratina olives, a variety renowned for its bold and distinctive character. Deep green with golden hues, it has an intense fruity profile with aromas of fennel, dill, artichoke, pepper and hay, followed by a characteristically peppery finish.

Muraglia continue to harvest their olives by hand and press them in their historic stone mill, preserving the character and aromatic qualities of the fruit.

Distinctive Italian Extra Virgin OIive Oil — In An Equally Distinctive bottle!

Just as distinctive as the oil inside, the ceramic bottle is shaped and hand-painted by artisans in Puglia. The bold yellow Fruits of the Mediterranean design celebrates the sun, sea and landscape of Southern Italy, transforming a bottle of extra virgin olive oil into a piece made to be displayed and enjoyed long after the oil is finished.

A beautiful gift for lovers of Italian food and design – and a striking addition to any kitchen table.

Puglia

Puglia is a region of Italy on the southern coast, known as the ‘heel’ of the ‘boot’ of Italy. Visitors can enjoy a piece of everything in Puglia from the Baroque streets in ‘The Florence in the South’ Lecce to the longest coastline in Italy and the unique stone-built, hobbit-style Trullo huts in Alberobello.

This is all dominated by the region’s most treasured source of income, olives. Puglia produces 40% of Italy’s olive oil, making it one of the largest in the world. This oil is used on pastas that are native to the region such as orechiette (little ears) which get their name from their distinctive shape. Orechiette is used in dishes such as orecchiette alle cime di rapa, a simple pasta that combines olive oil, pecorino and cime di rapa (a relative of the humble broccoli).

The most widely grown wine grape in the region is Negroamaro – literally ‘black bitter’. It is hardly grown outside the region and is used to produce some of Puglian’s best wines like Salice Salentino. Primitivo is also a very popular variety, producing rich, high alcohol red wines.
