Made by Colli Etruschi

In 2014 Flos Olei awarded Best Olive Oil in the World to Colli Etruschi's flagship EVO oil - a spectacular single variety Caninese extra virgin. The oil really did have the most extradordinary deep, herbal character and a beautiful spicy green length to it but the award was really to show recognition to the people at the cooperative who, over the years, had managed to bring together over 350 local farmers and convince them that quality was possible and, most of all, necessary if they wanted to make a living from their olives.
