Grand Crù is a premium extra virgin olive oil produced from the Picholine variety, one of the most esteemed and recognizable varieties in Tuscany. This oil is distinguished by intense fruity aromas with pronounced herbal notes, including scents of fresh grass, artichoke, almond, and aromatic herbs.
On the palate, it is complex, with a balanced bitterness and spiciness, making it ideal for culinary use in dishes that require a strong and distinctive character. The production of Grand Crù oil takes place in a modern mill, where olives are cold-pressed immediately after harvest, preserving the maximum sensory and nutritional qualities. The oil is then stored under controlled conditions, using inert gas to maintain freshness and longevity. This olive oil is intended for connoisseurs of fine flavors and those who want to highlight the full depth and aroma of olives in their dishes, bringing a touch of authentic Tuscan tradition and quality.
