 Casa Brina Extra Virgin Olive oil is grown high in the Tuscan hills just south of Florence, using the strictest quality standards of the region. Only noble olive varieties, Morellino, Frantoio, Coreggiole and Moraiolo, are used. The precise blend varies each harvest to optimize flavor and finesse. The olives are hand-picked directly off the trees, and after brief air drying, they are crushed and the oil is decanted off. The oil is cold-extracted using only traditional and natural processing methods; no heat or solvents are used.
We chose this oil for its flavor. It has the assertive fruity aroma of fresh olives, yet is delicate, complex and harmonious. It is distinctively fruity on the palate with the slight peppery/spicy note typical of fine Tuscan oils. Nothing overpowers: it is balanced, medium-bodied, flavorful and long-finished.
Since this is a totally natural oil, some sediment may occur. This won't affect its flavor, but reflects an authentic artisan product without commercial processing.
Freshness is key to this oil's character. Bottles are vintage-date so there is no question of age. In addition, the dark glass protects it from light. These are our commitments to flavor. We recommend enjoying our olive oil within 24 months of its November harvest.
The complex flavor of Casa Brina Extra Virgin Olive Oil makes it an essential component in pastas, salads, marinades and sauces. It is particularly fine as a simple dressing for steamed vegetables or bruschetta. Or try tossing Tuscan white beans with a little oil and fresh herbs.
