Sabino Leone Io Voglio Italiano

Sabino Leone Io Voglio Italiano olive oil

Crafted by Sabino Leone, the Io Voglio extra virgin olive oil presents a harmonious medium-robust intensity, designed as an appealing choice for all palates. This thoughtfully blended oil combines the distinct characteristics of Coratina, Peranzana, and Frantoio olives in precisely calibrated proportions, resulting in what Leone himself describes as “a very bright extra virgin, very suggestive.”

The aromatic profile of this oil is intriguingly complex, immediately offering notable hints of fresh almonds and crisp apple. Underlying these prominent notes are subtle yet discernible aromas of green almond, unripe olive, and a delicate whisper of tomato leaf, adding layers of intrigue to its bouquet.

On the palate, the Io Voglio delivers a medium fruitiness, perfectly balanced by a pleasant bitterness and a gentle pungency that lingers without overwhelming. The finish introduces a nuanced aftertaste of wild herbs, completing the sensory experience with a refreshing and slightly peppery touch.

Sabino Leone specifically recommends pairing this versatile oil with leafy green salads, where its brightness can complement the fresh, slightly bitter notes of the greens. It also shines when drizzled over fruit salads, where its almond and apple aromas can beautifully enhance the natural sweetness and acidity of the fruits, creating a delightful and unexpected flavor combination. The Io Voglio truly embodies its name, offering an accessible yet sophisticated olive oil that is sure to please a wide range of culinary preferences.
