Clemente "Enea" Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1L

Everyday Italian flavour. A generous bottle for the heart of the Mediterranean kitchen.
Good olive oil is one of the foundations of Mediterranean cooking. It is the finishing touch on a simple salad, the starting point of a beautiful pasta sauce and the ingredient that brings vegetables, fish and grilled dishes together. Clemente Enea Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made for exactly this kind of everyday enjoyment: versatile, approachable and ready to become a regular presence in the kitchen.

Produced and bottled by Olearia Clemente in Manfredonia, Puglia, Enea is an extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from olives and exclusively through mechanical processes. It is cold extracted, helping preserve the natural character of the oil, and has a pleasant, harmonious flavour that makes it suitable for a wide variety of culinary uses.

Unlike some of Clemente's more specifically Italian selections, Enea is made from a blend of olive oils originating in the European Union. This gives it a broader European identity while retaining the expertise of an established Italian producer. It is a useful distinction: the oil is produced in Italy, but the olive origin is European rather than exclusively Italian.

Its balanced character makes it particularly practical for everyday cooking. It can be used to dress salads, enrich sauces, prepare vegetables or finish a freshly cooked plate of pasta. It also works beautifully with grilled fish, meat and simple Mediterranean dishes where a good olive oil can make all the difference without overwhelming the other ingredients.

For households in Ireland that enjoy cooking with olive oil regularly, the 1-litre bottle offers a convenient format with plenty of versatility. Whether you're preparing a quick weekday dinner or putting together a leisurely weekend meal, Enea is an easy-going kitchen essential that brings the familiar flavours of Mediterranean cooking within reach.

Not every olive oil needs to be a rare single-estate discovery. Sometimes what you want is a dependable, well-made extra virgin that you can reach for every day. Clemente Enea is exactly that.

Why we love it:
We love Enea for its straightforward appeal. It combines the experience of an established Italian olive oil producer with a versatile, harmonious flavour and a generous 1-litre format. It is not trying to be an elaborate tasting experience or a specialist finishing oil; it is a dependable extra virgin designed to be enjoyed generously, whether you're cooking, dressing or simply adding a little Mediterranean character to your favourite dishes.
