“The first press of olive oil is like great cinema, it transcends.”
Robert Zemeckis
In the rolling hills of Tuscany stands a grove of enchanted olive trees on the ruins of a 10th-century castle. At the foot of the grove lies a grotto. The water from this grotto feeds and nourishes the trees, making for an exceptional extra virgin olive oil. It is said the grotto is filled with the tears of a maiden, forbidden to marry the man she loved. Promised to a convent, the maiden sheds tears for her star-crossed love. Those tears feed the roots of the olive trees above, proving love never dies.
