Savoring Autumn: San Michele Wines and Tuscan Dishes to Warm Your Soul
As the days grow shorter and the Tuscan countryside is painted in shades of gold
The organic extra virgin olive oil from Fattoria San Michele a Torri is produced with a blend of Frantoio and Moraiolo olives, with small percentages of Leccino, Pendolino, and Cerretana. The olives are hand-picked at the right stage of ripeness, which generally coincides with the end of October and early November. The processing takes place in the company’s olive mill, within 24 hours of harvest, and the oil is immediately filtered to preserve its excellent organoleptic and nutritional qualities. Our extra virgin olive oil has a very low acidity, 0.15% expressed as oleic acid, a great content of polyphenols (470 mg/lt), and a consistent allocation of tocopherols (225 mg/lt). It has an herbaceous, fruity scent reminiscent of olives. The taste is immediately appreciated for its bold, fruity flavor with a good spicy note at the finish.
