A consistent favorite among chefs, this year's Tenuta di Capezzana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is pure elegance. Their 2023 harvest is a blend of four Tuscan olive varietals: Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino. On the nose, you'll find notes of apple and chamomile while the palate offers a soft herbaceous quality. Fans of delicate extra virgin olive oils will appreciate Capezzana's ability to elevate dishes without overpowering them. A mild intensity oil.
How to use
We love Capezzana for its versatility. Use as a finishing oil over a plate of citrus segments, steamed Romanesco or cavalo nero (Tuscan kale) or a delicate fish dish. Or, serve it like Rolando Beramendi, author of Autentico: Cooking Italian, the Authentic Way, does—poured liberally over mashed potatoes and topped with crunchy crystals of Maldon Sea Salt.
About the producer
Filippo Bonacossi, son of the Count Uno and Countess Lisa Contini Bonacossi (owners of Tenuta di Capezzana), supervises the groves of five different olives grown on the estate in Tuscany, while the rest of the family handles the business of running a wine and olive oil estate. We're proud to share with you an extra virgin olive oil that is both from a family operation and one of Italy's premier estates.

This is by far the tastiest olive oil I have ever used.
I’ve been using this olive oil for years and it’s still my favorite!
This is an olive oil I am tempted to drink in a shot glass. It is so yummy. Sometimes I pour a drizzle on a thin sesame cracker and revel in its lovely flavor.
For introducing me to the pleasures and necessity of high quality olive oil and to Tenuta di Capezzana in particular - truly an outstanding olive oil to be savored and a must have for my pantry along with Seka Hills or Katz for cooking.
Treat yourself to this fine quality olive oil, as a staple in your pantry for salad dressings and special meals. Elegant, easy on the palate and distinctive. Worth the price point.
