Organically produced, this creamy, dreamy oil is an estate bottled extra virgin unfiltered olive oil with Slow Food recognition. Light, sweet and delicate with a fruity aroma. Unfilterd oil contains more flavorful olive bits and solids that will collect in the bottom of the bottle. These are considered to be desirable and do not affect the quality of the oil.
The 12th century cross of the church of San Damiano in Assisi inspired the young and restless Frances to a spiritual rebirth and the founding of the Franciscan order who believe that "the labourer is worthy of his food". For the benefits of your labors you can choose no better.
