MONTIONI RIGATONI & EVO OIL MONTIONI RIGATONI & EVO OIL COLD PASTA WITH EGGPLANT AND CHERRY TOMATOES : A Taste

One of the most iconic pairings for our Montioni Sagrantino Passito is crostata. But with the arrival of summer, we wanted to reinterpret this classic dessert with a fresher, lighter twist.
That’s how our summer crostata with pastry cream and seasonal fruit was born — the perfect way to highlight the colors and aromas of this time of year.


The Pizza Norcina is one of those recipes that tell the story of Umbria from the very first bite: few ingredients, bold flavors, and a tradition that feels like home. In this version, we added our own touch, enhancing it with a drizzle of Montioni extra virgin olive oil. The result? A rustic and creamy pizza, perfectly balanced between intensity and smoothness. Best enjoyed straight out of the oven, perhaps with a glass of our red wine.

Carnival in Umbria is all about authentic traditions, and no celebration is complete without Ficcanasi. These crispy, orange-scented pastries, perfectly fried to golden perfection, are an irresistible treat from the very first bite. Our version has a special touch: Montioni Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which adds lightness and crunch to the dough, enhancing the flavor without making it heavy. They’re easy to make, and success is guaranteed—here’s the recipe to bring them to your kitchen!

A deliciously spooky Halloween recipe: creamy pumpkin soup with crispy bread and our 2024 novello olive oil – the undisputed star of this dish!

Made with our Montioni Rigatoni, fresh zucchini and zucchini flowers from our vegetable garden and completed with our “Delicate” Olive Oil, this recipe is a triumph of flavors perfect for summer. The sweet and slightly spicy taste of the “Delicate” olive oil pairs perfectly with the delicacy of the zucchini, creating a first course that will captivate your taste buds from the first bite.
