Olive oil
Olive
oil is in fashion - it’s “trendy” as they say. Olive oil represents a
healthy life-style, and it enhances many of
the light dishes that are
typical around the coasts of the Mediterranean – in fact it is the basis
of a whole way of
life. However,
despite the prestige it has now attained, not many people are fully aware of
its particular
characteristics. Just like wine, a whole world is hidden in
the two words “olive oil”. Every Mediterranean country
has its own
peculiarities, its species of trees, its tastes, its methods of harvesting
the olives. This same way of
life is being
developed in other countries that have climatic similarities, such as Chile,
New Zealand, South
Africa and California. Very often we find that olive oil
is following where wine has gone before. Tuscany also
benefits from the
fashion for all things Tuscan and from the extraordinary popularity that
this Region enjoys.
The demand for the Tuscan brand is high and ever
increasing. Just like its wines, extra virgin olive oil from
Tuscany is in
huge demand.
