Tuscany, Italy

A spicy, fruity and creamy extra virgin olive oil from a legendary wine producer! Pacina is both a hamlet just outside of Castelnuovo Berardenga, southeast of Florence, and the name of winemakers Giovanna and Stefano’s ancient winemaking estate with roots back to the first millenium. FUN FACT! The town is named after the Etruscan god Pachna – the god that became Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry. Pacina works organically, cultivating a pulsating ecosystem and priding themselves on using only non-hybridised heirloom varieties, #tasteofITALY! Their olive grove extends across eight hectares where they grow traditional olive varieties of their region: Fantoio, Leccino & Moraiolo. Their youngest trees were planted 30 years ago, while they say that the age of their oldest vines is “now lost to memory”. Olives are harvested by hand between October to November, crushed into a paste before being spun in a centrifuge to separate the oil from the water and solids. Enjoy drizzled on ice cream, anchovies or a medium rare steak.
