“Fate decided I was to meet Maurizio, and it took me just a minute to realize 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 his house’s wall, had 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, IGP certified extra virgin olive oil produced in the hills surrounding Radda in Chianti. All Maurizio’s spirit and the passion that comes through in Dario’s prose flows through each drop of this unique oil. Its benefits to excellent health match its elegant character and earthy fragrance, 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 October early November harvest, the Palagio team is committed to shipping this exquisite oil to you to days after the olives were basking in the sun. Il Palagio Extra Virgin Olive Oil keeps wonderfully all year as well, until the next harvest and another annual “olio novo” festival!
WE ONLY SHIP AND DELIVER FRESHLY PRESSED OIL—WE DON’T SUPPLY OUR PRODUCT TO STORES
