Piro Named Food & Beverage 2025 Editor’s Top Pick for Dessert Ingredients
In an unexpected yet inspired choice, Piro Extra Virgin Olive Oil has earned its place as Food & Beverage’s 2025 Editor’s Top Pick for Dessert Ingredients. While Extra Virgin Olive Oil may not be the first thing that comes to mind when crafting sweets, Piro proves that high-quality olive oil can transform desserts with its complexity, depth, and richness.
This recognition follows Piro’s 2024 Editor’s Top Pick for Health-Driven Products, a testament to its exceptional nutritional profile and purity. Known for its high polyphenol content and meticulous production process, Piro is more than just an olive oil—it’s an ingredient that enhances both taste and health benefits.
Elevating Desserts with Piro
Piro’s fresh, herbaceous notes, subtle tomato leaf undertones, and delicate peppery finish create a surprising yet harmonious contrast when paired with sweet treats. A drizzle over roasted Tahitian vanilla bean gelato, finished with a touch of sea salt, enhances the creamy richness while adding a delicate, savory edge. The result? A depth of flavor that elevates even the simplest desserts.
For pastry chefs and home bakers alike, Piro brings a new level of sophistication to sweets. When paired with an aromatic orange biscotti, it achieves a perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and herbal depth. It’s this versatility and ability to enhance flavor complexity that made it an Editor’s Top Pick.
Why Piro?
Sourced from Italy’s Maremma region, Piro is crafted from a proprietary blend of three olive varieties grown on centuries-old trees. It undergoes a labor-intensive four-step filtration process, ensuring unmatched purity and freshness. This dedication to quality is why Piro has consistently earned acclaim from culinary professionals and industry experts alike.
As more chefs and food enthusiasts embrace Extra Virgin Olive Oil in unexpected ways, Piro continues to lead the charge. Whether used to finish a delicate mousse, enhance a citrusy cake, or bring out the best in creamy desserts, it is redefining what it means to indulge.
