Aubergines with extra virgin olive oil – 100g
This recipe is made by Emilio in Piedmont (Italy), less than 2km from the field. The aubergines are picked in high season, cut in the length in great, fine slices, grilled and then put in brine (mix of sugar, vinegar and water) before being marinated in Italian extra virgin olive oil. You will be delighted with their very tender and slightly tangy heart!

Origin
WEIGHT
A generous jar of 130 ml that is a 75g net drained weight.
Conservation
– Before opening keep it in your pantry: “Best by” 2 years.
– After opening, keep it in the refrigerator for 20 days – but not too cold because the olive oil could freeze. For a better conservation, make sure that all the vegetables are marinated in the olive oil.
The Main Ingredient
The aubergine is a particularly delicious vegetable during the Indian summer. Once grilled and marinated in the extra virgin olive oil, its texture is especially tender. Its soft bitterness pairs well with the sweetness of red pepper but also with cheese (mozzarella, goat cheese, etc.)
Composition
– Aubergines from Piedmont

Culinary preparations

Little extra: Consider keeping the olive oil from the marinade to make a delicious vinaigrette or simply taste it with some bread.
The Artisan
Whilst developing our range of extra virgin olive oil marinated vegetables, we first looked for french artisans – but we quickly realised that the expertise in this field is undeniably Italian. Emilio is specialised in the making of olive oil marinated vegetables and most of the vegetables are grown on-site, which allows a rare mastership of the whole process.
