REGINA CLASSIFIED TRE E SUPER PREMIUM OLIVE OIL SELECTION

June 27,  2011

Napa Valley, CA

    The 2011 Regina EVOO has also been awarded Gold Medals in California at the Napa and Yolo County Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competitions.

    Previous awards include a Gold Medal in 2010 from the Los Angeles County International Competition, and the Alma Trophy which Regina was awarded at the ARMONIA competition held in Spoletto, Italy in 2009.  

    Regina EVOO is produced from Taggiasca Olives, a varietal which is known to produce oil with an unusually low acidity. With oleic acidity of 0.05%, Regina easily exceeds both the European and California standards for certification as extra virgin olive oil. Regina EVOO preserves maximum quality and freshness by harvesting the olives by hand and delivering them to a local mill within hours of picking.

    Regina EVOO has received broad acclaim from a number of award winning Bay Area chefs:

    Regina has a bright flavor with a pronounced yet clean acidity that sets it apart from other oils that can overpower more delicate foods. It has a roundness of flavor that lends itself to a wide range of applications. We use it to finish every pasta from our kitchen, and it’s also great drizzled over braised or roasted meats, fresh mozzarella, and even ice cream.

    This is a delicious, light medium fruit intensity oil which is perfect for those looking for delicacy and not power in extra virgin oil.
