Cavalli Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 8.8oz. Bottle
|
Andrea Bocelli was the perfect soundtrack for approaching this 75-acre farm in Basilicata, an olive oil producing region that goes back to antiquity. One can almost feel the spirits of the ancients among the flower-filled green-carpeted mountains and gnarled olive trees overlooking the Basento River.
Sylvia Cavalli produces Cavalli olive oil sustainably from trees that are each grafted with three olive varieties- Frantoio, Coratina, and Leccino. The trees are organically cultivated and sustainable practices, like nitrogen fixing with lima bean plantings, are followed. Irrigation is efficient and the entire facility is run on solar power. The farm even produces enough energy to sell to nearby towns! The olives are harvested manually and cold-pressed immediately in a state-of-the-art centrifuge. The oil is left unfiltered and stored in steel containers to preserve its quality. The flavor is pure, fruity, and soft with a bit of earthy grass and the liveliness of green tomatoes. Enjoy this fresh, intense oil on pasta and drizzled over grilled vegetables.
