Zuccardi Organic Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil 50cl

Zuccardi Organic Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Familia Zuccardi brings its blending expertise to this organic extra virgin olive oil from Mendoza, Argentina. Made from carefully selected organic olives and extracted at low temperatures, it balances vibrant green fruit with herbal complexity and moderate spice. Versatile and expressive, it works equally well in dressings, marinades and as a finishing oil.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Fresh green-gold.
• Nose: Aromas of tomato leaves, green apple and freshly cut herbs.
• Palate: Intense green fruitiness with medium bitterness and a gentle peppery edge.
• Finish: Clean and lingering, with herbal freshness and subtle spice.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this olive oil.

Heirloom tomato salad with burrata and fresh basil is a superb match because the oil's tomato leaf character amplifies the freshness of the dish. The gentle bitterness balances the creamy cheese, while the green fruit notes bring additional vibrancy. Finish the dish just before serving.

Roasted butternut squash with rosemary and toasted pumpkin seeds works beautifully because the natural sweetness of the vegetables contrasts the herbaceous character of the oil. The balanced spice adds another dimension without overwhelming the flavours. Drizzle generously after cooking rather than before.

Meet The Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and commitment to the region.

Zuccardi Olive Oil

Zuccardi produces extra virgin olive oils in Maipu, Mendoza, at the foothills of the Andes in western Argentina. The region's dry climate, strong sunshine and marked temperature differences between day and night create distinctive conditions for olive cultivation.

The family manages its own olive groves, growing a range of varieties suited to the local environment. Arauco, a traditional South American cultivar, is particularly important to the collection. The range also includes varieties such as Picual, Coratina, Frantoio and Genovesa, each offering its own balance of fruitiness, bitterness and peppery character.

The production approach centres on varietal expression. By keeping individual cultivars distinct, the team can showcase the differences between them rather than relying solely on a blended oil. Arauco is known for its pronounced, robust character, while other varieties can offer greener, more herbaceous or fruit-led profiles.

The olive groves are managed using organic production practices, with native vegetation, green areas and biological corridors supporting biodiversity around the trees. This approach reflects the family's interest in maintaining the ecological balance of the land while producing high-quality olives.

Through careful variety selection and a strong connection to Mendoza, Zuccardi has helped establish Argentine extra virgin olive oil as a product with its own identity. The range demonstrates how cultivar, climate and agricultural practice influence the character of the finished oil.
