Created by Vulcino in Latium, this barbecue-style sauce is a harmonious fusion of sweetness, spice and umami depth. Cooked grape must provides a rounded natural sweetness, while aromatic mustard seeds contribute a pleasant, measured heat.

The distinctive character comes from black garlic, obtained through a controlled low-temperature fermentation process known as the Maillard reaction. During this transformation, fresh white garlic develops complex aromas reminiscent of caramel, liquorice, dried fruit and mushrooms, giving the sauce a subtle balsamic nuance that pairs beautifully with mustardโ€™s sharpness.

Balanced and expressive, this sauce works equally well as a finishing condiment or as an ingredient, adding depth and structure to both simple and elaborate dishes.

On the palate, the sauce displays rounded sweetness of cooked grape must, unfolding into layered aromas reminiscent of caramel, dried fruit and liquorice, characteristic of aged balsamic-style condiments, yet without pronounced acidity.

As it develops, the gentle umami depth of black garlic emerges, followed by a controlled, aromatic warmth from mustard seeds that provides structure without sharpness. The texture is dense and glossy, lingering softly and harmoniously.

This balanced profile makes it particularly well suited to aged and semi-aged cheeses, grilled or roasted meats, roasted vegetables and fresh bread, while its complexity also allows it to enrich dressings, marinades and sauces without overpowering other ingredients.

In the northern part of Lazio, close to the border with Tuscany, lies Canino โ€” a small town surrounded by olive groves and shaped by the ancient volcanic landscape of the Viterbo area. This is the home of Il Vulcino, an organic farm where agriculture, gastronomy and music come together in a particularly personal way. The estate is located near the natural monument of Lago di Vulci and Torre Crognola, in a landscape deeply connected to the Etruscan history of this part of Italy.

At the heart of Il Vulcino is Eugรฉnie , a classical musician and sommelier. Together with her husband Silviu and a young team, she has given new life to an old agricultural property, with particular attention to its centuries-old olive groves and to organic farming. Her background in music is more than just part of the family story: it has become one of the defining elements of the estate itself. The olive trees are accompanied by the music of composers such as Mozart and Bach!

The local protagonist is Caninese, an olive variety deeply rooted in this corner of Lazio. Il Vulcino works with Caninese both on its own and together with varieties such as Frantoio. Its Saecula oil, produced from old olive groves, is centred on Caninese and expresses the more powerful side of the variety, with intense green aromas, notes reminiscent of artichoke and leafy vegetables, and a pronounced bitterness and peppery finish. Principe, the estateโ€™s traditional blend of Caninese and Frantoio, has a somewhat more rounded character, combining fresh vegetal notes with aromatic herbs and almond.

The farm works organically and produces considerably more than olive oil. Black garlic, almonds, grains, asparagus and fruit are also part of its agricultural world, reflecting an approach based on biodiversity rather than a single crop.

Over the years, the oils have gained recognition well beyond Lazio. Slow Food awarded Il Vulcino's oils its Grande Olio distinction in its 2021 guide, while Gambero Rosso included Principe Bio among Lazio's Tre Foglie oils in 2022. The estate also reports gold awards in New York, Tokyo and Amsterdam in 2022, while both Saecula and Principe have been selected by the specialist publication Merum.
