A simple display of fresh raw vegetables served with the perfect accompaniment, extra virgin olive oil. Simple ingredients working together to highlight one another’s natural flavors. A little coarse sea salt and some cracked black pepper are added, just as a little enhancer.
Cazzimperio (aka Pinzimonio) were typically served in the fall, after the olive harvest and meant to highlight the first fresh pressing of the year. This dish has been served for centuries, with records dating back to the Renaissance, with little modification throughout the years. Fresh raw vegetables are trimmed or shaved and served alongside a robust Tuscan extra virgin olive oil.
