This oil is from Badia a Coltibuono's Albereto Estate. Podere Albereto, the small Albereto estate, forms a boundary with the unspoiled forest surrounding Badia a Coltibuono. Albereto's favored olive trees, arrayed across 22.5 acres at 1550 feet above sea level, render choice varieties for production of this piquant, unfiltered oil. As the particles settle the translucent color becomes clear. The oil has an intense aroma with hints of asparagus, tarragon sage, and almonds.

According to Deborah Krasner in "The Flavors of Olive Oil", this oil is "made from Frantoio, Leccino, and Pendolino olives, the oil has a well-rounded, complex flavor and some finish."

Please note that this is the only premium selection from Coltibuono imported this year.
