Product Highlight: Basil Olive Oil

Harvested and produced using traditional granite millstones in Italy, this all natural basil agrumato extra virgin olive oil is produced by crushing the olives and basil simultaneously in the same press without the use of any added essences. This process allows for the essential oils from the basil to harmonize with the oil from Frantoio olives. The producer hand harvests olives from Apulia, near the Adriatic coast, a region that produces more olives than anywhere else in the world.
