THE BEST EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILS  -  COLD PRESS!

 

The qualities of olive oils are many and of extreme importance.
We have selected the best Cold Press Oils of Tuscany and you can choose either mixed cases of various oils or you can order a case of just one kind.
If you would like to know more about olive oil, please see the various links on the left.

 

We have selected different olive oils of very high quality, Cold Press, extremely low acidity content, and shipped only after the harvest, so between the months of December and March. This way you receive the "new oil" when it is at its best - and the shipping is best done in the winter months to avoid temperature alterations.

You should book your oil well in advance because there is a very limited supply.

 

In November 2007, the oils are produced by each individual producer in their own facilities and then shipped by Tuscany In A Bottle. All are cold pressed and are produced in different farms around in Tuscany. Here is our selection of top favourite oils for you.

CASTELLO DI VOLPAIA (Radda in Chianti)

The Frantoio of Castello di Volpaia
In 1985 most of the secular olive trees of this hilly region of the old Chianti died because of a devastating cold winter. Since then hundreds of new trees have been planted of the variatals: Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo from which Castello di Volpaia now extracts this famous olive oil in their very own stone mill which is located in the middle of the middle age town. The extraction of the oil is done by the "Sinolea" method, a method with which oil is separated from the paste by clinging to metal plates - thousands of which are immerged into the olive paste. Cold press and acidity is below 0,3%.
