The Moraiolo is the soul of Chianti oil. A variety with compact growth and modest vigour, it produces roundish olives with a strikingly large stone – and therefore benefits particularly from pit removal. Because without the bitter stone, the pure flesh of the fruit comes into its own, and in the Moraiolo this is of remarkable complexity. Felsina's oldest trees have been standing since the 1960s. The variety ripens medium-early, earlier than the Correggiolo, and is harvested when the polyphenol content is at its peak. The olives reach the mill within four hours, are pitted (denocciolato) and pressed at 25 degrees. The oil is stored under nitrogen, vacuum bottled only when ordered.

The colour varies between delicate and intense green – depending on the time of harvest. The nose is unmistakable: artichoke, thistle, field herbs and fresh olive – an aroma reminiscent of a Tuscan vegetable garden in late autumn. Artichoke and thistle return on the palate, accompanied by a pronounced bitterness and a medium-pungent finish with great persistence. Moraiolo calls for dishes with a backbone: zuppe di legumi, ribollita, minestrone – or a bistecca alla fiorentina, in which the oil is not an accompaniment but rather a contributing factor.
