ENTIMIO Cortese is an early‑harvest, Tuscan extra virgin olive oil with more than 800 mg/kg polyphenols—cold extracted, lab tested, and awarded for its fresh, peppery character.

Harvested in October 2025 on a family estate in Tuscany and bottled as a single‑source artisanal oil, this 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) extra virgin olive oil emphasizes antioxidant content, a lively green flavor profile and rigorous quality controls. USDA organic certified and honored with the 2026 NYIOOC Gold Award, it arrives in luxury packaging with a leaflet describing tasting notes and pairing suggestions.
