Tuscan Villas by Zanetti. Tuscany Italy Vacation Rentals Villa Siena
Description
Oil and tourism do mix. At least if it's olive oil. Thus has been the experience of Lilly Zanetti and her family. Part-time Naples residents, Zanetti, her husband and her son have recently launched two new business ventures: producing and importing olive oil from their own grove in Tuscany, Italy, and offering their two beautiful guest villas at the same location as vacation rentals.
Equal to the reputation of Tuscan produce and wine is that of its olive oil. The hearty soil of the region, combined with its temperate climate, makes for one of the most ideal environments in which to farm olives, and Tuscan olive oil is among the world's finest. "Bad olive oil tastes like gasoline," espouses Zanetti. The trouble is consumers are so used to buying supermarket olive oil that they don't know what they're missing until they try the real thing.
Zanetti began bottling her own olive oil about 15 years ago, made from the olives of 100 year-old trees on her property. "The older the tree the better the oil." she says. Originally, she had the oil, which is processed in Lucignano, made for the enjoyment of her family and friends. But as she started getting more requests for the extra virgin olive oil, her oldest son Alex hatched a plan: increase production, bottle the oil under the Villa la Piertraia label (Zanetti's family villa in Lucignano) and market it to gourmet groceries around the country. Zanetti's response? "I told him, "Go for it!"
