We anticipate the arrival of Olio della Donna in the second half of December. 

Olio della Donna is the new label of Elaine Trigiani (you know her from Sàgona) making super high quality extra virgin olive oil in Tuscany and Sicily.  Olives are farmed in historically auspicious production zones and only where avant-garde milling equipment and expert millers are available. For the 2022 harvest Elaine worked with organic farmers and expert millers, one of each in Tuscany and Sicily. This This Sicilian oil was made in the Belice River Valley in the NW corner of the island.  

Elaine's team picks early so the olive oil is full of flavor and antioxidants-- and the oil maintains its flavor over time. The olives are milled immediately, within 4-8 hours) to guarantee super high quality.
