Bramasole Olive Oil

It's the name of our home in Cortona, a hilltop town in the heart of Tuscany, and the estate that author Frances Mayes made famous in her international bestseller, Under the Tuscan Sun. Every Fall, we harvest the olives from the same trees Frances wrote about, pressing them within hours at our local frantoio.

And if you pour our oil in your pan, please think of us poised in the trees in the wind, picking jillions of these little drupes then standing in the cold mulino watching the lovely green oil pouring into our demijohns.

One taste, and you're there.
