“Fate decided I was to meet Maurizio and it took me just a minute to realise that something new and exciting could be achieved. An hour later, after Maurizio Pesucci had indicated a 1000 year old fresco he had found by chance on the wall of his house, talked to me about some 2500 year old Etruscan tombs he had casually stumbled across his property and showed me his production of Vin Santo and salamis I was enthralled. Something had to be done here…” – Dario Castagno
Made With Passion
Steeped In Tradition
Il Palagio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an organic, I.G.P certified extra virgin olive oil produced in the hills surrounding Radda in Chianti. All the spirit of Maurizio and the passion that comes through in Dario’s prose flows through each drop of this unique oil.
Il Palagio Extra Virgin Olive Oil’s elegant character and earthy fragrance are matched by its benefits to great health, and, like fine wine, its attributes vary annually from harvest to harvest. Authentic and handmade, it’s available in limited supply.
With each year’s late November/early December harvest, the Palagio team is committed to being able to ship this exquisite oil to you to enjoy days after the olives were basking in the sun on a hillside, making for a truly alive culinary product that’s cause for celebration at table with friends and family. Of course, Il Palagio Extra Virgin Olive Oil keeps wonderfully all year as well, until the next harvest and another annual “olio novo” festival from your friends!
