The Barouni olive variety is
grown almost exclusively in Tunisia, and primarily for table olives. We
are fortunate to have access to some trees that were brought to
Northern California forty years ago. We know of no other premium olive
oil producer that uses Barouni as a major component in its production,
but we love it for its exotic overtones and rich pungency. This oil
reminds us of the old style olive oil produced in southern Italy half a
century ago. Use Barouni to add lustiness
The Barouni's unique character makes it ideal for vinaigrettes with
balsamic vinegar, roasts of lamb and beef, and dressing grilled
veggies, especially red peppers, zucchini, and eggplant.
