The Groves

Three ideas of olive oil — force, citrus, and delicacy.

Most people own one olive oil and call it done. This box is the counter-argument: Andria's Coratina, all pepper and conviction; the same family's lemons, milled in with the olives rather than added after; and a gentle organic Maurino from the hills outside Bologna, at the olive's northern limit.

Taste them the way the growers do — slowly, and hot at the back of the throat — and three bottles become three different tools: the plate, the fish, the quiet dishes.

For the person who says they love olive oil. This shows them what they meant.
