Liquid Gold: The Art of Olive Oil at Capezzana (S 1 Ep 5)

In this episode, we go beyond wine and into the world of Tuscan extra virgin olive oil with Beatrice Contini Bonacossi of the Capezzana estate in Carmignano. Capezzana is home to a historic frantoio (olive mill) and produces one of Tuscany’s finest olive oils. Beatrice walks us through the entire process — from harvest to bottle — and explains what makes high-quality olive oil so flavorful, healthy, and essential in the kitchen.

We also talk about how to recognize a great EVOO, bust some common olive oil myths, and hear how olive oil plays a starring role in Tuscan cuisine.
