For more than 100 years, grapes, olives and fruit trees have been grown on the hillsides of a farm and vineyard near Montalcino in Tuscany. Il Palazzone, or "The Big Palace," is the name of a large house built on the property by its original owners. The land was subsequently divided, and another house and cantina for producing the wine were built; but Il Palazzone continues to be the brand name for both the olive oil and the wine produced on the site. In 1999, an American couple purchased the property. Committed to maintaining the traditions and quality passed on to them by the previous stewards of the land, they are equally dedicated to sharing their exquisite olive oil. It is made using a vintage method that delivers extra-virgin olive oil with an exceptional taste. Grown on terraced hillsides, no pesticides are used on the trees, and the hand-picked olives are cold-pressed at a local cooperative. Purchasing Il Palazzone Olive Oil means you are participating in a heritage as distinctive as Tuscany itself.
