Poderi Borselli La Poderina Toscana Novellino Bio Organic 2024

Enjoy this favorite selection from an excellent Tuscan producer!

Slow Food Italia 2023

The farm has recently changed its name to Poderi Borselli. Harvested in October, Davide Borselli and his team produced this organic olive oil in the area of Monte Amiata in the province of Grosseto.

Novellino is a fresh, early blend of olivastra, leccino, and frantoio olives. "Novello appena franto" -- freshly pressed.

We love this special bottle in this very giftable size! Share your love of good fresh, olive oil from a young producer, who is serious about his craft. 

What makes this estate even more interesting is that they’ve taken the “green movement” to heart. The farm is organic and the energy for the pressing comes from photovoltaic energy cells. The farm uses biomass heating as well for hot water and to heat the farm house. We can’t think of another producer who so eliminated or reduced outside energy sources. (We almost want to apologize for using an ocean-freighter to bring the oil to the U.S.)

The family began to acquire the farm in the 1980s and began planting the trees. In 1995 they added the mill and the cellar. Davide’s time at university was spent studying agronomy to take the production to the next level.

Davide's careful tending in the mill results in an oil full of polyphenols, antioxidants that preserve the human body. The intense aroma of the olive oil is very persistent and it tastes very strong and spicy.
