What kind of olive oil is this?

This oil offers a rich and fruity profile, delivering an intense yet beautifully balanced flavour.

Geographical origin
This superior oil originates from Radda in Chianti, a historic agricultural area in the heart of Tuscany. Brancaia has cultivated its local groves since 1981, focusing on native cultivars that reflect the unique character of the region.
Production process
The production process begins with a manual harvest, where olives are carefully caught in nets to prevent damage. To minimise oxidation and ensure maximum aromatic clarity, the fruit is milled and cold-pressed within 24 hours. This swift mechanical extraction is crucial to preserving the intense fruitiness and pristine profile. These rigorous methods guarantee a vibrant, high-quality oil, perfect for drizzling raw over your favourite starters and artisanal pizzas.

Deeply rooted in the traditions of Radda in Chianti, the Brancaia estate has meticulously tended its Tuscan olive groves since 1981. This 2025 extra virgin olive oil combines traditional Frantoio, Leccino, and Moraiolo cultivars to deliver an authentic Italian flavour. To ensure peak freshness and minimise oxidation, the olives are hand-picked in November and cold-pressed within twenty-four hours of harvest.
