They're here! Our 2015 Harvest Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oils have landed. The olive oils from this year's harvest have been absolutely stunning—from Tuscan favorites Tenuta di Capezzana (now certified organic) and Frescobaldi Laudemio to Sicilian standouts like Olio Verde, Titone and Tondo DOP—and we couldn't be more excited to start pouring. Without further ado, let's taste.
Fresh Pick – Tenuta di Capezzana Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
We're thrilled to welcome back a longtime customer and staff favorite, Tenuta di Capezzana Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This year's olive oil—made from a blend of four Tuscan olives: Frantoio, Moraiolo, Pendolino and Leccino—is truly amazing. It's green and grassy with delicate notes of fresh herbs and a gentle lingering pepper in the finish.
In three words: Grassy, Buttery, Almond
How to use it: Pair this vibrant olive oil with your favorite spring produce—drizzle over grilled asparagus, toss with roasted baby artichokes or use to finish crostini topped with fresh ricotta, fava beans and a touch of lemon zest.
