6.5 Million Olive Trees Can't Be Wrong
That's how many olive trees are cultivated on more than 10,000 farms in Italy producing olive oil and that's only in Tuscany! The best of the best thrive and prosper at Tenuta di Capezzana, an estate farm, northwest of Florence, that has been producing olive oil and wine since the year 804. On the grounds of a former Medici villa, this highly acclaimed oil is made like a fine Tuscan wine using production methods both modern and traditional to best preserve the optimal scents, aromas and flavors of the oil. High in polyphenols and tocophenols important to the conservation of the oil and also for health, there is a one to one relationship between the ancient tree stock and the oil - the olives from 1 tree make 1 bottle of oil. It's as if each bottle of oil was made especially for you.

Nuovo Oil from Tenuta di Capezzana
30 days ago I saw the new harvest of olives picked, pressed and bottled at Tenuta di Capezzana. Believe me there is nothing like seeing, smelling and tasting "new oil". Olio Nuovo is the freshest possible extra virgin olive oil you can find. When you put a spoonful of Olio Nuovo in your mouth, you experience a burst of fresh olive oil taste. Peppery, fruity, pleasantly bitter with that classic Tuscan "zing". This is something special.
