Description:
From the coastal groves of Liguria, the Cassini family produces a refined monocultivar extra-virgin olive oil from 100% Taggiasca olives—an Italian variety known for its mildness and subtle elegance. Named “S’Ciappau,” a Ligurian term meaning “crack” or “snap,” the oil pays homage to local tradition and the time-honored technique of splitting olives by hand.
Hand-harvested in October at peak ripeness and cold-extracted using a continuous cycle, this golden-hued oil captures the essence of Liguria in every drop. Paolo Cassini’s dedication to craftsmanship is evident in the oil’s soft mouthfeel, balanced sweetness, and clean finish—perfect for those who appreciate finesse in their olive oil.
