This vegetal, cloudy olive oil is unfiltered at our request to evoke intensely vibrant flavor. Fairway has strictly blended the oils from specific groves lying in Southwestern Umbria and northern and central Puglia in an attempt to achieve a certain flavor, texture, fragrance, and cost profile, one that delights us as serious cooks and as assiduous shoppers. We have succeeded mightily in each regard. These olive oils display a depth of flavor with a lingering and pleasurable finish, a creamy texture, an alluring fragrance, and a remarkably low price. (It's kosher, too.) Grassy tones mingled with notes of cooked artichoke and tomato will play on your palate, and you’ll taste a slight peppery bite; if you pay close attention, you may detect just a mild hint of mint.

Use this to bring out the flavors of steak, seafood, poultry, and fish. Drizzle it on fresh fruits and cheeses, or mix it into a baste for marinating. We love it as a dip for bread and crudites or slathered on a simple pasta dish. Use however you would like: This is oil that is as perfect for drizzling over toasts and cheeses, meat, poultry, salads, and grilled vegetables, and is inexpensive enough to use to saute, pan fry, and marinate a range of foods.

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
