Find out more about the olive cream that is part of the Tuscany Box by Radici Italiane.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is well known that Tuscan olive oil is recognised as one of the best in the world.<\/strong> And from these prized olives other products of equal excellence can be born, such as the olive cream made by the organic farm Il Bottaccio.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

We are on the Costa degli Etruschi<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, near the wonderful Gulf of Baratti,<\/strong> <\/a>an oasis of sea and greenery all around, where the hills slope gently down to the coast. Here there are mainly olive groves of leccino, a cultivar characteristic of Tuscany<\/strong>. The foliage is thick and the branches resemble those of the weeping willow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The farm’s processing method is organic<\/strong>, meaning that no chemical agents are used throughout the life of the olive trees. The olives are all harvested by hand<\/strong> and brought to press within twenty-four hours by cold pressing<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During preparation, the olives are crushed to a paste, to which extra virgin olive oil is added. And now the olive cream<\/strong> is ready.<\/p>\n

Ideal to spread on bread as an aperitif<\/strong> as well as an appetiser<\/strong>, it can also be used to prepare sauces<\/strong> for first and second courses. On the palate you can feel all the intensity of Tuscan olives, with their strong, fruity flavour. A goodness waiting to be discovered!<\/p>\n
