{"title":"Ligurian Olive Oil","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLiguria is a small olive producing area in the northwest of Italy that contains the 'Italian Riviera' overlooking the Ligurian Sea. Liguria forms part of the border with France, and also borders the Piedmont region to the north and Tuscany to the southeast. The major city in the province is Genoa. The tradition of olive tree cultivation in Liguria has a thousand-year old history that began with the Romans. Olives here are typically grown on the slopes of high hills on terraced land overlooking the sea, and cultivation is dominated by the Taggiasca olive. At Olive Oil Lovers the region of Liguria is represented by the Paolo Cassini company. Basil pesto is said to have originated in Liguria, making the delicate oils of the Taggiasca a perfect choice when making pesto at home.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"paolo-cassini-taggiasca-extremum","title":"Paolo Cassini Taggiasca Extremum","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cassini family farm grows exclusively Taggiasca olives, and the Extremum line of extra virgin olive oil is the best of the best, made from a single grove of 400 trees that produce around 1500 bottles of oil each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypically a light and delicate oil, the Taggiasca Extremum elevates the expression of the olive to create an intense, fruity oil that finds harmony with its bitter and pungent counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aroma has notes of artichoke, chicory, mint and rosemary.
