Tuscany is one of Italy's most famous olive oil regions. Its oils are known for their intensity, fruitiness and characteristic peppery bite.
The main cultivars are Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino. These give the oil green, artichoke and almond notes. Tuscan oil is recognizable by its strong character.
The most famous DOP regions are Chianti Classico, Terra di Siena and Lucca. The hills of Fiesole near Florence are especially prized for their high-quality oil.
