Tuscania, in the Lazio region of Italy

Extra Virgin olive oil of superior quality, single-variety, stone-crushed at the beginning of the fall to achieve the best quality. Mild, very fruity and robust.

Our extra virgin olive oil comes 100% from a single variety of local olive (called "Canino") that has been identified over the past few centuries as the one that fit best our environment. So our oil is pure, it is not a blend, and our groves are quite happy and healthy even if organically farmed.

The olives are stone-ground, to smoothen the natural pepperiness of the Canino olives resulting from the unusually high phenol content of this variety. Phenols are anti-oxydants whose content and composition are a result of genetics and soil, and they're responsible for the majority of the bitter taste of the oil and the spiciness you feel at the back of your mouth. They are healthy, but if too present, they can overwhelm the taste of the oil resulting in a product too bitter to be eatable. By using stones instead of a metallic crusher, we make the most of building the fruity flavor aorund them, to have the most healthy properties while preserving the best flavor you can have.
