Chianti Classico

Not to be confused with the wine varietal, Chianti Classico is an olive oil produced in Colline del Chianti, a range of hills situated in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Siena. This central Tuscan extra virgin olive oil has a maximum acidity of 0,5% and it is bright yellow with hints of green.

About 80% of the olives used to produce Chianti Classico come from the Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino varietals. They are hand picked and pressed within no more than three days of harvesting. Since heat can significantly alter its flavors, Chianti Classico extra virgin olive oil is always used raw in salad dressings or drizzled over traditional Tuscan dishes.
