CAPEZZANA EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

BACKGROUND
The ancient and famous Tenuta di Capezzana estate is located in the commune of Carmignano, in the province of Florence, situated approximately 24 km north west of the city.

OLIVE VARIETIES
Made primarily from Moraiolo.  This is an early ripening variety, so the olives tend to be blacker when picked resulting in softer, fruitier oils.

PRODUCTION METHOD
Ultra modern, stainless steel continuous presses are used.  Most experts now agree that this method of pressing results in fresher, cleaner oils that retain their colour and fruitiness for a longer period of time.

The oil is settled in a mixture of terracotta ‘orci’ (urns), and stainless steel.  It is bottled after a light filtration through cotton.

DESCRIPTION
Soft and fruity in style, with light spice and great elegance.
