Singer 2022 Olive Oil Occidental   

"Our Estate orchard, planted exclusively to Tuscan varieties (primarily Frantoio with Leccino,  Pendolino and a smidgen of Moraiolo) really outdid itself this Fall. Not only did our 20 year old trees provide (from 7 days of harvesting spread over three weeks from 10/22-11/8) a spot-on impression of Tuscan olio verde intensity, they yielded an crop of unprecedented size (400% larger than any previous harvest !). The copious effort it took (from our farm crews and helpful volunteers alike) to carefully hand harvest and promptly mill each lot was rewarded by the artichoke, mown grass and appley scented oil it rendered. It’s deep jade green color and vigorous olio nuovo character is the stuff of dreams for Tuscan olive oil aficionados. It will produce a lip smacking delight served as ‘fetunta’ (grilled bread, with generous amounts of oil, salt and garlic), and punch up any vegetable or fish dish that includes it. As it settles in to the bottle, it will continue to add deep olive character to food, although in a gradually more mild expression. As bountiful as it was by our historical standards, it is still quite limited."
