The Wood-Fired Newsletter: Olive Oil Edition

Greetings!

Wood-Fired Cooking and Extra Virgin Olive Oil are made for each other. Many of the authentic Italian dishes we all enjoy, from pizza and schiacciata to white beans and baked pasta all find their heritage in the countryside, with great quality ingredients, great olive oil and a brick oven. Nothing can beat the taste of vibrant, green olive oil, sampled fresh from the stone mill. And that's a flavor you can get with Forno Bravo's own Extra Virgin Olive Oil, imported directly from the hills south of Florence. As producer says, "enjoy your olive oil young and your wine old."

We hope you enjoy our Olive Oil Edition.

Olive Oil and Pizza
A top quality olive oil is a frequently overlooked element of a great pizza. Don't add olive oil to your pizza dough or your pizza sauce -- but make sure to swirl a tablespoon or two on top of your cheese, tomatoes and toppings, right before you place your pizza in the oven. You can use the Forno Bravo Oil Cannister to swirl your oil. The heat of a wood-fired brick oven fuses the top of your pizza into a rich, brown crust. Eccellente.

Want to improve your pizza even more? Take a minute and read our Perfect Pizza Sauce recipe. All you need is a can of Forno Bravo San Marzano DOP tomatoes, a food mill and a little salt. The bright, fresh taste is perfect for wood-fired pizza.

You can find everything you need at the Forno Bravo Store.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Featured Article

Forno Bravo imports a wonderful cold-pressed, 100% Tuscan extra virgin olive oil directly from the source -- the olive oil mill (Frantoio) just south of Florence. The olives are grown and hand picked from family-owned trees, and processed using a traditional, mechanical stone mill. Everything comes from a single family farm, including the pickers and the granite frantoio itself. We are very lucky to have made this connection, and to be able to offer this truly world-class olive oil through the Forno Bravo Store. It is unlike anything you can find in the U.S.

Order your olive oil at the Forno Bravo Store.
