Cosimo has undertaken extensive soil analysis to make sure every olive is handpicked at the perfect moment. Being in northern Tuscany, in a fairly hilly location with close proximity to the sea, the character of the olives can vary distinctively in between one patch of olive trees and the other (there are 1000 trees growing on the estate). The olives are then gently pressed below 70 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that the properties of the oil are not destroyed. After tasting the different batches and composing the most harmonious blends, this extra virgin olive oil is immediately bottled in dark glass bottles, in order to avoid the decay of its exquisite characteristics and valuable properties.

The Scrumptious Pantry brings two Extra Virgin Olive Oils with distinctive characteristics to the USA.

Premium Selection: an elegant finishing oil, great for salads, meats and fish, this oil starts off with a delicate fruity flavor to develop in the back of the throat the pungent taste characteristic of Tuscan varieties and their terroir. Comes in 250ml bottles

Blend of Moraiolo, Lecchino and Frantoio: a classic, robust Tuscan oil with a nice peppery finish (note: this taste profile comes from the olives, no spices were added to the oil) – great for salads, soups & grains, as a finishing oil for pasta dishes or meat.

Ingredients: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
