A SOPHISTICATED OBJECT FOR THE OIL TASTING. Alessi Pourer for olive oil bottle in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished and thermoplastic resin.
“Filo d'olio” has been designed by Marta Sansoni. “Fior d’olio” is a little iconic mechanical gem for use with “green gold”, another name for olive oil. “Fior d’olio” is a cap with a pouring spout that fits into the neck of the bottle, allowing you to pour only as much as you need on your food, while controlling the oxidation process that begins as soon as the bottle is opened. The small glass container that houses it has a second function: to assist professional tasters to sample the oil according to the time-honored tradition.
