This is the place. About 15 years ago we retired to this little piece of heaven to experience life in Caprese Michelangelo in the Tuscany region of Italy. A couple of years into this incredible experience, we began noticing the amazing olive oil our local restaurants were serving beginning around November of each year. This olive oil was like nothing we had ever experienced. Bright green with an indescribable taste, we could not believe the rest of the world did not know what REAL extra virgin Olive tastes like. Over our years living in Tuscany within a mile of Michelangelo’s birthplace, we learned from our wonderful Italian neighbors what makes Pure Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil different than anything many people have ever experienced. We first learned that freshness is critical to experiencing the divine nature of olive oil. A wonder of nature, olive oil should ideally be used within one year of harvest and pressing. We also learned that a large amount of all olive oil sold throughout the world is a blend of often less than 10% olive oil with the rest being vegetable or canola oil. So now after our wonderful years living in Tuscany, we are offering a very limited quantity of this ‘Divine’ oil for sale each year. Working with our wonderful small Italian Frantoio (Olive Mill) in Tuscany, our goal is to provide you the most authentic, premium Italian Olive Oil possible. We hope you will love our IL DIVINO Extra Virgin Olive Oil as much as we did when we first experienced it here at Cappellino and continue to love every day. In addition to this historical perspective on our IL DIVINO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, we offer this page as a place we can post our amazing memories of our life in Italy. Every year we return to to the Valtiberina region of Tuscany to check on our olives, visit with friends, and simply enjoy this incredible place. We hope you enjoy sharing our memories with us and our love of Caprese Michelangelo, Anghiari, Sansepocro, Pieve Santa Stefano, Arezzo, Monterchi, and so many other places.
