Kids and Olive Oil

The health benefits of olive oil are well documented. Artisan Extra Virgin is chock full of anti-oxidants which are key to strengthening the immune system and protecting the body from the damaging effects of free-radical
molecules. EVOO is low in saturated fats and has no cholesterol. And among other things, it plays a part in reducing rates or risk of some types of cancer. These benefits are not exclusively for the adult population but of course also for children.

Medoliva and the New Face of EVOO in Italy

This past weekend we were invited to attend Medoliva in Arezzo, Tuscany. A weekend in Tuscany? A weekend tasting all the wonders of the Mediterranean? How could we say no?

Preparing for our trip,

When olive oil is in your blood…

Tenuta Rasciatano is located in the inland of Barletta, halfway between the sea and the hills of Murgia in Apulia (Puglia in Italian) – the heel of the boot. This is an area that has been used for olive farming for hundreds of years. In fact when flying over or driving through its just olive trees for as far as the eye can see.
