Orange Olive Oil: A Gourmet Italian Secret
When Italian haute cuisine meets our fragrant olive oil
There are products that inspire us because they tell a story: that of Italian know-how where a passion for flavors blends with the simplicity of gestures.
Among these stories that inspire cooking and sharing is that of chef Moreno Cedroni , a true benchmark of contemporary Italian gastronomy. Two Michelin stars, boundless creativity, and a deep respect for the sea and the environment: everything we love about contemporary Italian cuisine.
Moreno Cedroni, a chef who takes flavors on a journey
At the helm of the famous Madonnina del Pescatore restaurant, Cedroni is renowned for his unique style: light, intuitive and daring cuisine, where each dish tells a story.
Curious by nature, he has traveled the world to draw inspiration from new flavors and integrate them in his own way, while remaining faithful to his Italian roots.
For the summer menu of ITA Airways ' (formerly Alitalia) business class, he has created dishes that reflect this philosophy: a cuisine that evolves and renews itself, but remains authentically Italian.
Orange Olive Oil: The Ingredient That Changes Everything
What particularly struck us about this menu? Its choice to accompany a classic dessert: a dark chocolate mousse .
Rather than relying solely on chocolate, Cedroni added a surprising note: a few drops of Terre Francescane orange-flavored Italian extra virgin olive oil .
The result? A perfect combination of the intensity of chocolate and the delicate freshness of orange, transforming a simple dessert into a true sensory experience.
And it only takes a few drops to create this effect!
This oil isn't just for Michelin-starred chefs: it can also be used at home. On a chocolate dessert, fresh fruit, a citrus salad, or even to add a sweet and savory touch to a creamy cheese... the effect is stunning.
Try it at home: a little Italian luxury
What we love about these kinds of products is their simplicity. You don't need to be a chef to make a surprising dish: sometimes all you need is a good product and a small gesture.
Terre Francescane orange oil is exactly that kind of discovery. Authentic, refined, and the result of expertise passed down through generations, it brings that Italian elegance that makes all the difference.
