750ml | Frantoio Sommaia Extra Virgin Olive Oil | 2011

Imported Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil | Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For nearly 200 years the Martini Bernardi family has been producing Italian extra virgin olive oil from their frantoio in Florence. The Bernardi's are careful to harvest the olives by hand just as the green color begins to darken. The olives are crushed in a stone press, then the oil is separated using a slow speed centrifuge. Frantoio di Sommaia extra virgin olive oil displays the distinctive label of the vermouth that the Martini Bernardi family has produced since the turn of the century.
