Since 1585, the Gonnelli family has been cultivating olive trees, now totaling 43,000, in central Italy’s Tuscany region and producing some of the most sought-after olive oils in the world. Their hand-tended olive trees include the six primary olive varietals grown in the region: Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, Correggiolo, Leccino del corno and Pendolino, allowing the company to offer a wide variety of extra virgin olive oils that includes mono- and multi-varietals that are revered around the world for their flavor and health benefits.

Tasting Notes: A sumptuous extra virgin olive oil obtained from hand-selected, ripened black olives. Sweet and balanced, with a mellow, full-bodied taste, it is a natural finish for grilled meats, especially beef.

When making a hearty vegetable-and-bean soup, including Tuscany’s famed ribolitta, this is our go-to olive oil from start to finish. The oil’s mellow flavor is also our choice for dressing assertive greens, including kale, watercress, arugula and radicchio.
