Extra Virgin Olive Oil, like wine, varies in taste, color and aroma. The characteristics are dependent on the variety of the olive, the soil and climate in which the trees are grown and the methods of harvesting. The vibrant green Extra Virgin Olive Oil in this bottle is from olives grown in the hills of Tuscany, which were picked beginning in mid-October. Cold-pressed, within a few hours of harvesting, the oil displays a full-bodied elegant aroma with a distinctive, rich, fruity overtone.
