Flavored olive oil

Rosemary - Sage - Laurel - Chili - a feast for the eyes with the most beautiful colors.

The country house behind the barn smelled always of the best herbs that grew in the many flower boxes.

Nonna Natalina loved to press her own extra virgin olive oil, which she flavored with her home-grown herbs.

She filled earthenware pots with extra virgin olive oil and immersed in it the best herbs. She then covered the pot with a towel and let the herbs drag for a month. Then she filled the flavored oil into bottles, which she placed in the kitchen in her spice rack, and finally prepared the most delicious dishes with it.

She used it to prepare roast bruschetta, beef steaks with rosemary oil, salad with bay leaf oil, tomato sauce with chilli oil or meat dishes with sage oil.

Everything was so delicious and original, that we still use this oil in our kitchen. In addition, we also have the same earthenware pots in the kitchen. Although they are a little faded, but what a beautiful memory they carry!

We dedicate this oil to Nonna and her passion for oil.

The product remains natural and original through cold pressing

The oil mill is situated on a hill in the middle of Tuscany, surrounded thermal waters of the area of ​​Chianni. The soil is rich in minerals - this is why our jams, sauces and olive oil are that so good and tasty.
