96/100 Flos Olei 2018 - A guide to the World of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For Farazi's family the name Micu has a high sentimental value.  It's a historical and characteristic, because it was the name of Domenico Farazi, born on 1906, breeder and farmer, father of 10 sons who founded the olives production farm that on 1992 brought on the Olearis San Giorgio of Fazari's Brothers company.

In memory of Grandfather Micu, starting with the harvest 2017, the family company dedicated him a top range EVOO with an elegant packaging.

It was excactly named Micu 1906 by the Farazi's family, like the name and the year of birth of its ancestor, and produced in a limited edition of 1906 piecesa year. Micu 1906 is a middle fruity blend with Ottobratico (70%) and Cassanese (30%) varieties.

    Probably the best tasting olive oil I've had in a very long time. This oil is so addicting I'm really going through it fast. But, hey, it is what it is.

    Probably the best tasting olive oil I've had in a very long time. Expensive? Yes, as well as this oil is so addicting I'm really going through it fast. But, hey, it is what it is. I'll just have to learn to be more disciplined.

Made by Olearia San Giorgio

The olive trees used for the production of oil are situated on the mountain slopes of the National Park Aspromonte, near the towns of San Giorgio Margeto and Cittanova. The original farm, started by the founder Dominico Fazari, before the expansion in 1992 of another 3000 young olive plants extends over 330 acres and includes 22,000 olive trees!
