Producer: The Gonnelli Family

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 revered in Italy and around the world for their flavor and health benefits.

Panzanella (Italian Bread Salad), a marinated bread salad made with crusty Tuscan-style bread, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives and fresh basil is our absolute favorite way to use Santa Téa Verde.
