Tasting
How it tastes.
Picked November 3–7, when the fruit has darkened. Mellower than Verde, with notes of almond and ripe tomato. Acidity 0.22%. The smoke point is high enough to sauté onions without breaking the oil down; the flavour is gentle enough to dress a salad. This is the everyday bottle.
Food pairings
What to serve it with.
- Roasted root vegetables — carrot, parsnip, beet
Maturo's mellower fruit doesn't fight the caramel from roasting.
- Soft-cooked egg on toast
A weekday breakfast. Pour over a still-runny yolk.
- Soft cheese + honeycomb
Maturo bridges the sweet-savoury gap; verde would be too aggressive.
- Pumpkin or bean soup
Stir in a tablespoon at the end of cooking.
