| Tis the Season of Fresh Olives
It's the most wonderful time of the year because our annual shipment of liquid gold is now arriving from Tuscany. The 2011 Olio Nuovo New Harvest Tenuta di Capezzana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is now available at CosituttiMarketPlace.com.
The olives that are used to make this oil were picked in October and bottled on the estate farm of our friends at Tenuta di Capezzana within 12-24 hours of production. Production methods are both traditional (olives are harvested by hand) and modern to best preserve the optimal scents, aromas and flavors of this exceptional oil.
I've seen the new harvest of olives picked, pressed and bottled at Capezzana. Believe me there is nothing like tasting "new oil". |
| Olives From 1 Tree Make 1 Bottle of Oil
This estate farm at Carmignano NW of Florence has been producing olive oil since the year 804.The vineyards and orchards of Tenuta di Capezzana are legendary with a history of families including the Medici.
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. Like a fine wine it has a character all its own and each year brings new meaning to the Tuscan style of living and their attitude toward food. Use this oil as the Tuscans do enjoying the best, every day.
Look for a special invitation to our Cositutti newsletter readers and CosituttiMarketPlace Facebook Fans in NW Indiana to a Tasting of 2011 Olio Nuovo from Tenuta di Capezzana. Date and time to be announced. Space is limited. Interested in attending? E-mail pam@cositutti.com |
