Intenso Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a bold, robust oil pressed from 100% Coratina olives grown in Northern Puglia. Known for their intensity, Coratina olives produce an oil with pronounced aromas of green herbs and tomato vine, layered with almond and artichoke notes. On the palate, it delivers an assertive bitterness and spice balanced by a clean, herbaceous finish. This depth of flavor makes Intenso a standout choice for cooks who love oils with structure and personality.
This award-winning oil (Silver, NYIOOC 2017) shines as a finishing touch on grilled meats, roasted vegetables, fried dishes, and legume soups. It’s excellent for drizzling over bruschetta, topping hearty grain salads, or enriching a bowl of beans with a final burst of flavor. Guglielmi’s Intenso also pairs beautifully with sharp cheeses and rustic breads, where its strength enhances rather than overwhelms.
Guglielmi has been producing olive oil in Puglia for generations, combining traditional methods with modern milling to preserve the character of the fruit. Their commitment to quality starts in the groves and continues through every step of production, ensuring oils that reflect the distinct terroir of the region. Intenso is their purest expression of Coratina—a bold, elegant oil made for serious flavor.
