Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The olive-growing essence of Valdichiana: an unbreakable bond between land, tradition, and our mill in Arezzo.
A journey into the heart of Tuscan olive oil
Tuscan extra virgin olive oil is world-renowned for its unique sensory profile, characterized by fresh herbaceous notes, hints of artichoke, and a pleasant bitter and peppery finish. At Frantoio Del Pasqua, we cultivate and press the typical olives of our territory (including Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino) in Monte San Savino, Arezzo.
Every step is managed to preserve this heritage: we harvest the olives at the perfect stage of ripeness and bring them to the mill within a few hours, proceeding with a cold extraction using latest-generation machinery. The result is a living, fragrant oil, perfect for enhancing typical Tuscan dishes and everyday cooking.
