Lemon Oil with Amalfi Coast Lemons: A Mediterranean Treasure to Discover

Lemon oil is one of the excellences of the Mediterranean tradition, a natural condiment that comes from the meeting of two noble ingredients: high-qualityextra virgin olive oil and fresh lemons from the Amalfi Coast. A fragrant, versatile and rich in flavor product, ideal for enriching dishes with a citrusy and fresh touch.

What makes Contedoro Lemon Oil special

Contedoro ‘s signature lemon flavored oil is prepared using freshly pressed EVO oil and lemons grown on the terraces of the Amalfi Coast, hand-picked at the right degree of ripeness. This is not just an added flavor: whole lemons are processed together with the olives during pressing. In this way, the oil naturally absorbs the essential oils contained in the lemon peel, resulting in an authentic, intense and persistent flavor profile.

The result is a citrusy oil that retains all the nutritional properties of extra virgin oil and the benefits of lemon, such as the presence of natural antioxidants and vitamins.

Coastal lemons: a PGI excellence.

Amalfi Coast lemons, also known as“sfusati amalfitani,” are recognized as a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) product. They are famous for their intense fragrance, peel rich in essential oils, juicy flesh and less sour taste than other lemons.

These characteristics make them perfect for the production of natural lemon flavored oil, because they release a fresh and persistent fragrance that does not cover but enhances the flavor of EVO oil.

How to use lemon oil in cooking

Lemon-flavored extra virgin olive oil is an ideal condiment to enhance many dishes, both cold and hot. Here are some suggestions:

• On fish carpaccio and tuna or salmon tartare
• To dress fresh salads, even with fruit
• On grilled or steamed vegetables
• For marinating white meat and fish before cooking
• On summer soups or vegetable creams.
• On grilled fish, especially sea bass, sea bream or anchovies
• On a gourmet bruschetta, perhaps with goat cheese or cottage cheese

A simple addition of this oil on a freshly finished dish gives freshness, balance, and an unmistakable aroma.

Benefits of lemon EVO oil

In addition to taste, this condiment brings with it several benefits:

• It is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats
• Contains natural antioxidants (polyphenols, vitamin E)
• Promotes digestion, thanks to lemon
• It has purifying and refreshing properties

It is also perfect for those who follow a light diet but do not want to give up flavor.
