We looked long and hard for an oil to call our own, and we finally chose this one. For the last few years we have been carefully working with an old school friend of Luigi's who has his own olive groves on the hills of their Tuscan home town of Montecatini, to create oil that we can put our name to.
Made from hand-picked Frantoio and Muraiole olives pressed the same day they're taken from the tree, the oil itself is hugely flavourful. When poured it has a clear pleasingly green colour and has a wonderful fruity aroma with a hint of apple and a scent of green leaves and grass. The flavour is typically Tuscan - strong and pungent. It's excellent on just about everything, salads, soups, pasta, seafood and of course, bruschetta.
Available for a short time exclusively via Luigis Mail Order and coming to the deli in October.
