PIU SANO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The olives come from the Leccino, Frantoio and Moraiolo varieties and are pressed at the local mill within 12 hours of being picked. Olives grown in the mountains develop an incredibly sharp and intense flavour, both because they are grown at high altitude relative to sea level and because the soil in the mountains is very clayey. This makes the flavour stronger and more intense. However, the lower yield in the mountains, combined with the early harvest, means that the yield is smaller and the oil is therefore more expensive. In other words, you pay more, but get a sharper, healthier and purer flavour.

This beautiful bottle was created in collaboration with the Danish design duo Legaard & Christensen. The inspiration comes from Italian wall and floor tiles – that is, a square, not a rhombus. The tiles are arranged on their points within a mesh that winds its way around the bottle. The colours represent a fusion of Danish Madam Blå and Italy’s burnt hues.
