Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Tenuta il Poggione
Tenuta Il Poggione is long known among our discerning clientèle for their exquisite Rosso di Montalcino and Brunello di Montalcino wines. What is perhaps less well known is that they do similarly exquisite work with their olive oil. The olives (cultivars Correggiolo and Moraiolo) are harvested by hand in October and November and then pressed within a few hours of the harvest in the farm's own olive press next to the winery. The olive oil is cold‑pressed by continuous extraction in order to avoid any risk of external contamination and to ensure that all the nutrients and typical aromas and flavours of the olive oil are kept intact. Bright green in colour, it is intensely fruity on the nose, with aromas of olives and artichokes. It is spicy on the palate, with just a hint of bitterness. Perfect pairing with bruschetta, green salads, vegetable soups and steaks.

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Laudemio Frescobaldi
Frescobaldi’s Laudemio continues to be a true testament to its lineage. It is crafted from the purest cold‑pressing of perfectly whole Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino olives from the family’s property in the hills surrounding Florence. Laudemio Frescobaldi represents the quintessence of Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. The aromas harken back to the fruit from which it derives, a just‑picked and then freshly pressed green olives. Emerald/green in color, the oil delivers an intense, pleasantly bitter and spicy flavor, with notes of freshly mown grass, thistle and artichoke.

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva La Collina Blu Frantoio L'Antellino
Allured by the food and wine of Italy, Asa Johannson moved to start production of her extra virgin olive oil in 2020 with her husband Stefano and business partner Francesco Biagiotti. Standing in Collina Blu's groves one can catch a glimpse of the iconic duomo in Firenze. Collina Blu, named after the apartment building she grew up in a working class neighborhood of Sweden. As Asa describes it, the original Collina Blu was a humble structure but it produced many incredible people. We agree this is a fitting metaphor for olive trees, which are common and abundant but whose fruits are strikingly unique and incredibly valuable. The production of Collina Blu is artisanal, quality minded and has great respect for nature. The aim is to help the organically grown olives to be the best that they can be without altering their character. Fresh and spicy oil glistening gold with green tints is bold but versatile. Olive varieties: Maraolio, Leccino and Frantoio. This olive oil is high in fruitiness and bitterness with zingy, spicy finish. ‑ paraphrased from
