If you’re looking to experience the authentic flavors of Umbria, you simply can’t miss the classic bruschetta with extra virgin olive oil and fresh tomato bruschetta—two simple and genuine recipes that represent the heart of Umbrian country cooking.

Here’s the original recipe—easy to make at home—so you can relive the Case Graziani experience whenever you miss the flavors of the Italian countryside.

🫒 Bruschetta with Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bruschetta with new-season olive oil is a true staple of traditional Umbrian cuisine. A humble dish, rich in flavor, it highlights the freshness and quality of just-pressed extra virgin olive oil.

Instructions:

  1. Toast the slices of bread on a grill or in the oven until golden and crispy.

  2. If you like, rub a clove of garlic on the surface of the hot bread.

  3. Drizzle generously with Case Graziani 1888 Umbrian extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed from our own olives.

  4. Add a pinch of salt and serve immediately.

👉 This bruschetta is the perfect way to enjoy the fruity and slightly peppery notes of our olive oil, freshly made in our on-site mill.

🍅 Bruschetta with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil

Perfect for summer, fresh tomato bruschetta is a light, fragrant, and colorful dish—best enjoyed outdoors in good company. It’s also a great starter during a farm holiday in Umbria.
