Monte-Solaio - Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Tuscany

Grown without chemicals, in keeping with Tuscan olive-growing traditions, the olives are harvested by hand, using a small comb, by members of the family every November. The branches are combed one by one, tree by tree, to the sound of the cicadas. Cold-pressed the same evening in a local mill, unfiltered and without preservatives, the oil is ready for consumption the very next day, guaranteeing freshness at all times. The care taken at all these stages guarantees the superior quality of this extra virgin olive oil, with an acidity level that does not exceed the European standards required to qualify for the Tuscan extra virgin designation (IGP).
