Introducing CARBONE AKRAME: A Culinary Innovation

We are excited to showcase the new CARBONE Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Charcoal at the Summer Fancy Food Show from June 23-25th in New York City. This innovative creation from Galateo & Friends, developed in collaboration with the renowned Chef Akrame Benallal, reimagines traditional olive oil by infusing it with charcoal powder derived from bamboo plants. The result is a glossy black oil with unique characteristics. The addition of charcoal powder gives the oil a striking appearance and a thicker texture, making it ideal for both flavor and presentation.
