Made from the rare Olivastra Seggianese olives organically grown & farmed in the town of Seggiano, on the slope of Monte Amiata, Tuscany. What started as a project with the University of Florence have resulted in two wonderful artisan products - Per Mio Figlio (For My Child) and Per Me (For Me) extra virgin olive oils. Armando Manni made the latter (pictured here) hand-harvested from very small ancient groves at the highest points of Monte Amiata that the olive tree can survive.
Manni is the exquisite choice of some of the best kitchens, including The French Laundry (Thomas Keller), Jean-Georges (Jean-Georges Vongerichten), among others. Definitely on my list for sensory exploration.
