| In 1996 Giuseppe Grappolini defined an objective:
to find the best solution for "marrying" the rich
aromas used in the kitchen with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
During the next four years the project developed daily through
a continuing fruitful relationship with Vegetal Progress of
Turin, and resulted in today's introduction of a "naturally"
innovative product.
The fortunate collaboration was born from a natural affinity,
from shared intentions and objectives based on solid principles,
foremost the attention to and maximum respect for nature and
man. Strong moral principles and a curiosity toward changes
in the way we live have united Grappolini and Vegetal Progress,
motivating their profound and well-articulated research.
Res Essenziale is the fruit of this research. This range
is the combination of the natural essential oils of rosemary,
basil, garlic, lemon and sweet orange with organic extra virgin
olive oil. It is the perfect marriage of Grappolini's Ciao
Palle organic extra virgin olive oil, an oil of the highest
quality whose entire cycle of production is perfectly controlled,
and the essential oils, rigorously natural, produced by Vegetal
Progress.
The nutritional value of Res Essenziale is of great importance.
It is easily transported to all areas of the human body together
with the substances it is combined. Essential oils activate
our tastebuds, activate digestion, and help the body in metabolizing
fatty acids.
Not only is it beneficial to our metabolic and digestive
systems, but it even solves the problem of availability of
fresh seasonal products, and it also adds a personal touch
to the recipe and quickens the preparation of the dish. It
is rich in freshness and flavour and brings together in harmony
all the fragrance of the preparation. |

Each 175ml bottle
of Res Essenziale is packed with goodness, freshness and flavour
and the follwing were needed to make up the equivalent weight
required for each 175ml bottle:
- 5 kilos of fresh basil is used to obtain 200g of essential
oil;
.
- 10 heads of fresh garlic to obtain 35g of essential oil;
.
- 5 kilos of fresh rosemary to obtain 210g of essential
oil;
.
- 11 kilos of fresh lemons to obtain 11 kilos of essential
oil
.
- 5 kilos of sweet orange to obtain 5 kilos of essential
oil
These natural essential oils are lipohilic substances that
are obtained through distillation. They are extremely stable
substances that do not oxidize and blend very well with extra
virgin olive oil to produce an oil with long-lasting freshness.
They should be stored at room temperature away from direct
sunlight.
The introduction of Res Essenziale has been highly innovative
and of immense value to most households and catering establishments
around the world. It has given cooking a new dimension and
Grappolini has opened the doors to a new world of flavours
and into the new millennium. |
