A consistent favorite among chefs, this year's Tenuta di Capezzana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is pure elegance. Their 2023 harvest is a blend of four Tuscan olive varietals: Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino. On the nose, you'll find notes of apple and chamomile while the palate offers a soft herbaceous quality. Fans of delicate extra virgin olive oils will appreciate Capezzana's ability to elevate dishes without overpowering them. A mild intensity oil.

How to use

We love Capezzana for its versatility. Use as a finishing oil over a plate of citrus segments, steamed Romanesco or cavalo nero (Tuscan kale) or a delicate fish dish. Or, serve it like Rolando Beramendi, author of Autentico: Cooking Italian, the Authentic Way, does—poured liberally over mashed potatoes and topped with crunchy crystals of Maldon Sea Salt

About the producer

Filippo Bonacossi, son of the Count Uno and Countess Lisa Contini Bonacossi (owners of Tenuta di Capezzana), supervises the groves of five different olives grown on the estate in Tuscany, while the rest of the family handles the business of running a wine and olive oil estate. We're proud to share with you an extra virgin olive oil that is both from a family operation and one of Italy's premier estates.

Heaven in a Bottle

This is an olive oil I am tempted to drink in a shot glass. It is so yummy. Sometimes I pour a drizzle on a thin sesame cracker and revel in its lovely flavor.

Thank you, Market Hall

For introducing me to the pleasures and necessity of high quality olive oil and to Tenuta di Capezzana in particular - truly an outstanding olive oil to be savored and a must have for my pantry along with Seka Hills or Katz for cooking.

Wonderful olive oil

Treat yourself to this fine quality olive oil, as a staple in your pantry for salad dressings and special meals. Elegant, easy on the palate and distinctive. Worth the price point.

So far this is the best olive oil I hava had

I am constantly trying new olive oils and I would have to say this is the best one to date. The other oils such as the 2011 Frantoio di Sommaia Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2011 Titone Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and the 2011 Frescobaldi Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil are all great as well but not quite as good in my mind. I love the perfect balance of buttery sweetness with the lingering yet light bite of pepper it finishes with.
