Estate-grown in Santa Cruz County, California, this Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted in the traditional Tuscan manner from a carefully selected blend of five classic olive varieties including Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, Pendolino and Maurino. The result is a distinctly well-balanced oil featuring a delicate yet peppery finish that exemplifies authentic Italian craftsmanship. Its complex flavour profile makes it exceptionally versatile for culinary applications, particularly when drizzled over grilled or steamed vegetables, roasted meats and fresh fish. This premium olive oil also excels as a finishing touch for rustic bread dunking and transforms simple salads into gourmet experiences.
