Castello di Poppiano Extra Virgin Olive Oil - ITALY

An Intense Tuscan Grand Cru with a Fresh, Grassy Character

An Intense Tuscan Sensory Profile

The "Castello di Poppiano" oil perfectly captures the robust and classic spirit of Tuscany. Crafted from a precise blend of traditional cultivars (70% Frantoio, 20% Moraiolo, and 10% Leccino), it offers a profoundly intense sensory experience. The tasting profile is overwhelmingly grassy, evoking the aroma of freshly cut grass and pine, intertwined with distinct notes of raw artichoke. It finishes with a characteristic, pleasant peppery kick at the back of the throat—the ultimate hallmark of an early green harvest.

Nine Centuries of Agricultural Heritage

This vintage originates from the historic estate of Count Ferdinando Guicciardini near Florence, a land celebrated for olive oil production for over 900 years. The olives are hand-picked while still green and cold-extracted within 24 hours. The resulting chemical profile is extraordinary: a remarkably low acidity of 0.17% and a robust polyphenol (antioxidant) concentration of 546 mg/kg, ensuring high nutritional value and remarkable flavor stability.
