Nick's experience

“When you use De Carlo’s “Il Classico,” the first thing you notice is how balanced and reliable it is. It’s made from Ogliarola and Coratina olives, and it behaves the way you would expect a good everyday extra virgin olive oil should that’s full of character but never overpowering. I’ve used it on everything from simple roasted fish to fried seafood, sauces, and roast meats, and it consistently enhances the dish without taking over. It’s the kind of oil you reach for because you know it will make whatever you’re cooking become pleasant.”
