A few years ago we came up with the idea of creating a smoked oil without the use of artificial flavors. We have therefore created a partnership with a small producer of smoked salmon to experiment with the cold smoking process of extra virgin olive oil.
The smoked oil is the result of the synergy born in 2019 between two Parmesan companies, Coppini Arte Olearia and Upstream. This liquid gold tells the story of the encounter of two excellent raw materials: the Sicilian cultivars Nocellara del Belice and Biancolilla, with a slightly fruity flavor, and beech wood harvested in the Parma Apennines.
The smoked oil is made from olives pressed within 24 hours of harvesting and is cold extracted at a temperature below 27°C, in order to preserve its quality and organoleptic properties.
The cold smoking process follows the same “recipe” as Upstream salmon, a Parma-based company specializing in the production of smoked salmon.
