It means a smaller harvest than usual, and an oil that is almost a monocultivar: a rare chance to taste one variety on its own. Picked as the olives begin to turn and pressed straight away, Leccino gives a fruity, fragrant oil; with this year's early shipping, you'll taste it at its freshest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the lab tells us\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery year we send our oil to ISVEA, an independent laboratory in Poggibonsi authorized by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture to certify olive oils.
