Villa Augusta Extra Virgin Olive Oil 750 milliliters
The Abruzzi is dominated by the Apennines
which reach their highest peaks in the Gran Sasso Italia group. The entire
region is 65 percent mountains and 35 percent hills which are comfortably
above sea level. Conditions vary from cool and damp in the lofty interior
which feels the Mediterranean influences from both sides, to steadily warmer
and drier towards the Adriatic coast.
It is in these hills that the DeVito family have been tending their
olive groves for over four generations. These aged majestic trees have
been meticulously cared for in a completely natural organic manner - without
the use of any herbicides or pesticides. In keeping with the respect for
this marvelous fruit, the harvest is done completely by hand in order not
to bruise the olives. The careful attention to detail in the growing,
picking and pressing of the olives, is very evident in the finished product
of the Villa Augusta Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
This is a magnificent oil to enjoy on any type of salad or pasta or for
the simple pleasure of dipping bread.
