From the area of Castagneto Carducci – in Bolgheri, Tuscany, Fonte di Foiano's blend is composed of Frantoio, Moriaolo, and Leccino olives, harvested in November.
After filtering, the exquisite oil is clear. The Grand Cru Selection is produced with the best varieties of the olive-grove, hand picked in very early harvest. Intensely herbaceous and fruity, with notes of green tomato and artichoke. Intensely hot and bitter. Best for raw use--as a finishing oil.
Piero Palanti of Extravoglio recommends Fonte di Foiano's Grand Cru as a finishing touch on Conchiglie (shell shaped pasta -- or cestini) with chickpeas, rocket (arugula) and Parmesan flakes to create a tasty and distinct pasta dish.
