MARQUÉS de GRIÑÓN WINS at the 2020 LOS ANGELES OLIVE OIL COMPETITION
Elizabeth, NJ — Marqués de Griñón’s Oleum Artis, a premium extra-virgin olive oil from Toledo, Spain, has been honored with both a Best of Class Award and a Gold Medal Award at the 21st annual Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition in February. One of the top-ranking Olive Oil competitions in the United States and fifth worldwide, the LA International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition brings together the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in awarding medals to the best oils from around the globe.
Oleum Artis is an estate-harvested extra-virgin olive oil, pressed within two hours of olive harvest for maximum freshness and bottled in glass Bordeaux bottles used for the family’s word-class wines. The predominately Picual oil is blended with a touch of Arbequina for perfect balance. It has a gleaming, golden hue with vivid aromas of green tomatoes, artichokes, and mint. On the palate, it exhibits green vegetable and nutty flavors. Its polyphenol count is seven times that of the average oil. Oleum Artis is wonderful drizzled over vegetables, cured or cooked meats, seafood, and aged cheeses.
In 1292, the crown of Castile granted a vast area of land next to the Montes de Toledo to the Marshal. D. Payo de Ribera. Since then, the historic family estate has been producing excellent wine and olive oil. The Marqués, Carlos FalcÓ, has dedicated the last thirty years to revolutionizing fine wine and olive oil production in the La Mancha region. Oleum Artis also was also awarded Gold at the New York International Olive Oil Competition in 2018 and 2019. The 2020 LA International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition received 600 olive oil entries from 300 producers from around the world, from Algeria and Argentina to Tunisia, Turkey, the United States, and beyond. DeMedici Imports is the exclusive U.S. importer of Marqués de Griñón’s collection of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The product is available at specialty retailers nationwide and on-line at demedici.com.
Elizabeth, NJ— Piave—the deliciously nutty cow’s milk cheese from northern Italy’s Belluno region—is excited to announce that the majority of its line is now 100% free of lysozyme. Lysozyme is a protein derived from egg white, used as an all-natural preservative in cheesemaking. It is completely safe for most people—but for those with allergies to eggs, lysozyme can pose a risk. Lysozyme is used to prevent the problem called “late blowing,” which is the formation of gas during the fermentation that can occur in the ripening process of certain types of cheese. The effects can include holes and cracks in the cheese, as well as flaws in flavor.
Because Piave is crafted with milk from Lattebusche, a coop which sources high quality milk exclusively from its members, they can precisely control each step of the supply chain and prevent the level of unwanted spores. They have implemented a rigorous protocol, including training, technical measures, and parameters to ensure continuous improvement. In addition, two bactofuge units were installed in the cheese-making facility to remove any spores. These innovations enabled Lattebusche to completely remove lysozyme from its plant in 2017.
Piave is an artisanal cheese made using milk from the Bruna Alpina and Pezzata Rossa cow breeds that graze on the mountain pastures of the stunning Dolomites. Through the years this craft was protected and perfected by historic alpine cheese huts, or “maiolere” in local dialect. In 1960, the dairy farmers cooperative was formed and named Piave after the river that flows through the region, and since then the cheese has gained a loyal following throughout the world. In 2010, Piave received Protected Designation of Origin status. Each wheel of Piave is crafted from the cow’s milk of two milkings rather than one, as with Parmigiano Reggiano. Piave’s distinct process starts by skimming the evening milk’s cream and then mixing it with the whole morning milk. By combining the butter rich morning milk with the evening skim milk, each 13-pound wheel is an authentic replication of the treasured mountain cheese made for generations—now available to those with egg sensitivities and allergies.
