New olive harvest

Olives: 27th October 2008 – Chianti

I know there is no direct connection with the Loire but the new olive oil is always very special – fresh, an amazing green colour and just delicious. It's a pity we used to make so much of Beaujolais Nouveau and have always ignored the olive harvest. Today we tasted lovely new oil – just a week old – at Poggiopiano (www.fattoriapoggiopiano.it). Their Chiantis are very good too.
