Terre Bormane Citrino

Citrino – EVOO and fresh lemon condiment. Citrus-flavored oils are very special condiments, they provide an appetizing alternative for the most varied and unusual preparations. Lemons are the most widely used citrus fruits undoubtly the most suitable for accompanying different foods. Citrino is obtained by carefully pressing the finest olives together with fresh lemons. Both fruits are ground with millstones to obtain a paste, which is then extracted under controlled pressure once the right density has been achieved. Following the extraction the three components – oil, water and lemon juice – are then separated by centrifugation and virtue of their different specific weights. Water and lemon juice seep out together, leaving the oil, retaining the citrus flavor, with a lemon fragrance but absent of any trace of the fruit itself. Citrino is delicious on raw fish as in “ceviche”, grilled or boiled fish, “bresaola”, and fresh goat cheese.
