Hispellum Start Their Harvest

I would like to wish Azienda Agraria Hispellum very good luck as they start around a month of Olive Picking this week.  They grow their olives using biodynamic methods in the hills surrounding Spello.  This beautiful part of Italy is near to Assisi.  They grow the Moraiolo cultivar which needs picking earlier than many other varieties to produce an outstanding monocultivar oil: Terre Rosse (I love their description of a full round oil with fruity tones and a strong personality)!
