Offering a Staff Favorite - and Shore Delivery this Week...

Today, we wanted to take a moment to introduce a different type of bottle to you. It's not made of grapes, it's not fermented, brewed, or distilled. But in many ways, it is one of the most important agricultural products of Europe.

Olive Oil.

We virtually "traveled" to one of the most famous volcanoes in the world where Marco de Grazia of Tenuta Delle Terre Nere produces an exceptional olive oil that we are very excited to have in the store. Marco's estate occupies prime real estate on the slopes of Mount Etna, the still active volcano producing some of Sicily's most extraordinary wines. Marco's approach to wine is one of minimal intervention, using certified organic practices. It is obvious that he applies this same careful and thoughtful approach to his olive oil production.

The estate has 1,500 olive trees that are all farmed and cared for organically. The olives are hand harvested and cold pressed that same day. The volcanic soils give the unfiltered oil a sweetness with elegant pepper notes.

Joe, Roberto, and I could have divvied up our small allocation and justified bringing it in just for us... It's THAT good. But we have some to spare and are excited for you to try this liquid gold (with green hints.) Use it as a finishing oil, drizzled over fresh bread, or dressed in a clean and crisp salad. You won't be disappointed!
