Oliviers & Co Galiga e Vetrice Grand Cru Olive Oil

Tasting Notes of the Curator

This olive oil is a masterwork of balance and complexity, crafted from groves in the hills of Tuscany. The nose opens with green, fresh aromas — reminiscent of tomato leaves, artichoke, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it delivers a layered experience: smooth and buttery at first, quickly evolving into vibrant notes of green almond, aromatic herbs, and a peppery finish that lingers with elegance. The oil’s intensity is refined, showcasing harmony rather than harshness, and its freshness reflects careful hand-harvesting and cold-pressing methods. Each drop is a testament to Tuscan soil and centuries-old savoir-faire. Awarded gold for its excellence, Galiga e Vetrice is not just an oil but a gastronomic experience — one that enhances dishes with both finesse and power.

Storage Instructions

To preserve the award-winning character of this Tuscan olive oil, store the bottle in a cool, dark place, ideally between 14°C and 18°C. Keep it away from direct sunlight, kitchen heat sources, and fluctuating temperatures, as light and heat can cause the oil to oxidize and lose its vibrant flavor. Always reseal tightly after each use to prevent unnecessary air exposure, which can dull the peppery freshness. When stored properly, this olive oil will maintain its excellence and remain safe for enjoyment over an extended period.
