Description

Our Frantoio grows in the upper block and shows pleasant fruity notes. The 500 mL tin container is charming, light weight and easier to recycle.

Enjoy this oil for cooking or as an accent for a cheese course. I also use this for our famous Al Pie Del Cielo Olive oil cake dessert.

Al Pie del Cielo

We are a microproducer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil at our farm Al Pie del Cielo. Our 350 olive trees were the sole survivors of a 50 acre grove which had been destroyed by a freeze in 2012, just before we acquired the property. We used Yeoman plows to improve water sequestration and improved organic fertililizing. Our population of quail seemed to increase and delight us with their presence, hence our product's name, Codorniz, quail in Spanish. We produce three Tuscan varietals: Pendolino, Coratina and Frantoio. Pendolino is a pollenator, but we love this low yield oil, which we harvest early to capture its peppery notes. Like our Pendolino, Coratino is very high in phenolic acids, anti-oxidants, which afford the oil's helth benefits and enhance their own conservation. These are ideal finishing oils. Frantoio has more fruity notes that pair well with cheeses and sandwiches. We also use it for cooking.
