The bramasole story
From the estate made famous by Frances Mayes in her award-winning novel Under the Tuscan Sun (later adapted into the 2003 film), our olive oil represents the soul of Mediterranean living and the essence of Tuscan tradition. Each tree in our Tuscan grove produces just one liter of oil per year—a testament to why authentic, first-quality Italian extra virgin olive oil must be priced accordingly. This is single-estate, current-harvest oil with the fresh, assertive, greeny punch that Tuscans use every day.

Just-pressed extra virgin olive oil delivers an indescribable taste and tingly sensation that transforms everything you cook. At this stage, the oil is bursting with health-improving properties and that lively personality you want—not the neutrality of other vegetable oils. Your cooking skills quadruple when you use the freshest oil available. This is the revelation you'd experience tasting just-pressed oil at a Tuscan molino in the fall, delivered to your door.
Tuscans use premium olive oil for everything—finishing, dipping, drizzling, sautéing, and even frying (normal cooking heat does not destroy the qualities of good oil). Try it the traditional way, drizzled on fresh oranges with salt, or use it in baking as Tuscans do. Olive oil has always been the essential, holy ingredient of Italian life.
We have been producing the highest quality extra virgin olive oil since the early 1990s. Our single-estate EVOO from frantoio, moraiolo, and leccino olive trees consistently wins medals at the New York International Olive Oil Competition, including Gold last year for our fall 2024 harvest. Unlike many inexpensive "extra-virgin" oils sold in stores—which are often blends of oils that didn't sell in their first year, or older oils verging on expiring—Bramasole olive oil is fresh, authentic, first-quality Tuscan EVOO from our trees to your table.
Free shipping to most locations. We ship directly from Tuscany every 2 weeks. Once shipped, arrives in about a week. UPS charges some areas a "remote" zip code fee. All US-based tariff charges are included. Customers outside the US may incur other local tariffs.
If you do not like the oil for any reason, we will take back any unused bottles and provide you with a full refund.
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bottle tightly sealed to preserve freshness and flavor. Best used within 18 months, but good for up to 24 months after harvest.
