Our story
From our trees to your table
Villa Branzino sits in the green hills of Umbria, where the countryside turns quiet in autumn. Around the house stand 81 olive trees, and every olive in this bottle came off them by hand.
This year Carly, Austin and Lucio worked the harvest side by side with Fulvio. We spent long days in the sun on steep hillsides, filling nets one tree at a time. Lucio kept us laughing the whole way, as he always does. It took blood, sweat and a few tears. Still, there is nothing more rewarding than fresh, healthy oil made on our own land from start to finish, and we would love to share some with you.
On October 15 we drove the crates to the mill and watched our oil pour out young, green and peppery, the way new Umbrian oil should be.
There is only a little of it, so every box carries its own number.
Austin and Carly
