      I'm sure you have a fun time with Guido like us.

    I listened and watched all of that without even considering the time ... most fascinating and I learnt some things I was not aware of too. I think Guido might be the fellow I used to get my wine from in Bagni (he was younger then) - on the right side of the road coming up from and not far beyond Il Circolo. The last shot of the shop seemed to confirm it. He had a few non-Italian wines then which intrigued me at the time and his knowledge and generally welcoming manner kept me as a customer for many years.
    All in all a most useful video wherever one might reside. Thank you.

      Thank you. We're all getting older sadly. Guido also acts as a social centre for the locals. He spends a lot of time to widen his knowledge. He's truly passionate.

      Thank you. Guido is a real point of knowledge. In the future if we open another channel we will publish the full interview in Italian.

    Great information…Ira & I have always wondered about the different names applied to olive oil….it is always a staple in our home. Thanks again!

      We are very lucky to have our own olive trees.

    So interesting I didn’t know half of the info I’m on the look out now for good olive oil thank you 🙏

      Thank you, this video was a marathon to make as we had hours of conversion. We learnt so much from Guido as well. and will treasure our own oil even more.

      We learnt so much Guido as well. He is a friend and has an olive grove below ours. He is a mine of information and his shop is full of amazing wines and oils.

      Thank you, It was an editing video cutting down several hours of conversation and we hope keeping all the facts there to help people navigate this amazing product. We will guard our trees with even more respect.

    Great video! We are lucky enough to have a Frantoio just up the road from us - we don't have our own olives unfortunately but we buy straight from the owners.

    • @PiazzaTalkLucca
      @PiazzaTalkLucca  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is good to know your area had a crop this year. The whole of our hill is lamenting the lack of olives. There has also been a lot of fly around I believe.

    It was interesting to find out more about olive oil. Can you buy his oil in any outlets in Lucca?

    • @PiazzaTalkLucca
      @PiazzaTalkLucca  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. This year sadly we have no olives in our area. I don't think Guido sells the olive oil he produces from his olive grove as it is produced in family quantities like ours. We find that good olive oil can be found at Il Desco, the food fair in Lucca happening in the next weeks over the weekends. We once bought very good oil from an estate in Massarosa, near the sea, to taste the difference and it was worth it. You can also contact a frantoio like the one in Valdottavo or Massarosa and ask if they sell oil.

      Grazie tante for that video! My husband and I are in Lucca for the next 4 weeks and hope to find some good olive oil at the outdoor food markets. Are the food markets on Wednesday and Saturdays in Lucca? If they are, could you tell me where they are held?
      Grazie ancora,
      Giovanna

    • @shirlharrison1376
      @shirlharrison1376 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the info. Wished we could go to the food fair over the next few weekends but we're back in England now probably until early next year. We'll have to keep trying different oils we're trying Villa Santo Stefano at the moment and it is good

    • @PiazzaTalkLucca
      @PiazzaTalkLucca  ปีที่แล้ว

      @farrell5607 We have a three weekly farmers market in Lucca:
      Mercato Contadino in Foro Boario (the old cattle market) on Saturday morning
      Then two small ones in:
      Piazzale Verdi (near the tourist office) Thursday morning
      Piazza San Francesco - Mercato Bio Wednesday afternoon
      Also Il Desco in the Real Colleggio (back of San Frediano Church)
      2nd /3rd December from 10 am to 8 pm
      8th/9th/10th December from 10 am to 8 pm
      There you will find many estates selling their new oil.
      I'm sure there are also other little markets around but I don't have the details

    • @PiazzaTalkLucca
      @PiazzaTalkLucca  ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never tried theirs but it is always lovely to buy from producers as you can ask questions.

  • @purplefantail5697

    Would bottles of EVOO require a pressing date and a best before date in Italy?

    • @PiazzaTalkLucca
      @PiazzaTalkLucca  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Italian law (and European I expect) doesn't require anymore a pressing date and an expiring date but generally they put a best before date of 18 months.

    • @purplefantail5697
      @purplefantail5697 ปีที่แล้ว

      @PiazzaTalkLucca Thanks. We do put the pressing date on ours. It's good to watch harvesting in Italy and see we do follow pretty much the same process. We have mainly frantoio, leccio del corno, maurino, and pendolino varieties in our grove in NZ. We had a poor harvest last season after very wet weather over many months!

    • @PiazzaTalkLucca
      @PiazzaTalkLucca  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In fact Guido during our conversation mentioned that Leccio del Corno is more resistant to cold. We had to do massive editing as the conversation lasted hours. We weren't aware that New Zealand produced Olive oil. I imagine places like New Zealand, Australia and America use the newest methods. Now there are hardly any frantoio using traditional methods in Italy. Sad but modern methods create a better product.

    Remember, a slight bitterness is essential to a finely balanced olive oil!
