Originally inspired by the olive oils found in the Italian countryside, McEvoy Ranch's extra virgin olive oil in the Tuscan style with its characteristically rich, slightly peppery flavor is the result of six Tuscan varietals: Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, Maurino, Leccio del Corno and Coratina.

It is this blending of olive varieties which adds the award-winning depth of flavor to the finished oil. Frantoio, which constitutes 75 percent of the blend, gives the oil its fruity notes, while Leccino, 20 percent of the mix, gives it a peppery finish. The remaining varieties are added to give the oil softness and balance.
