Organic Olive Oil from Poggio Etrusco

“Pace da Poggio Etrusco”
(Peace from Poggio Etrusco)
Poggio Etrusco is Pamela and Johnny’s 15-acre organic olive farm near Montepulciano in the southern Tuscan province of Siena. We completed our organic certification with ICEA in 2005. Our small artisanal production is from five varieties of traditional Tuscan olives: moraiolo, leccino, correggiolo, frantoiana, and pendolino. In late October/early November, nets are spread under the trees, the olives are quickly and carefully picked and taken to the frantoio (olive mill) within 24-48 hours. The olives are washed, leaves removed, then put into the continuous system that macerates, extracts, and centrifuges the sparkling fresh oil. The result is an oil with extremely low acidity...super fresh!
Pamela says, “Remember, this is not a cooking oil, it is a condiment (although I do cook with extra-virgin olive oil...). The big difference in my oil is that I wait a bit later than everyone else... The trend these days is to pick earlier, striving for the pizzico (that sizzle in the back of your throat when you taste Tuscan oil). Here in Tuscany the pizzico is present in a variety of olive called coreggiolo, but can also be achieved from an immature olive of any variety, hence the earlier picking. However, I learned a few years ago that even when the correggiolo is ripe it gives a nice spice, and the oil reminds me of when I first started coming to Tuscany in the 1980s - fruity big flavor with a persistent herbal buzz.”The label was designed by Johnny Johns and expresses our desire for a clean, sustainable, peaceful world.
We are very proud of our oil and pleased to offer you the opportunity to try it.
