Get to Know Us
The Story Behind Toscan Olive Garden

Like so many others, we fell in love with Italy – with its timeless culture, breathtaking landscapes, mouthwatering cuisine, and golden-hued wines. Every summer, we explored a different region, discovering new tastes, traditions, and the warmth of Italian life.

Then one day, we had the opportunity to turn our Italian daydreams into reality. We packed up, left our old life behind, and made Tuscany our new home.

As lovers of art and history, we naturally gravitated toward Florence. The city’s Renaissance charm, artistic heritage, and rolling countryside drew us in completely. When we began renovating our new home near Florence, we uncovered something special: a section of exposed old brickwork in the basement, stamped with the name “Degrassi.”

At first, we assumed it was the mark of an old brickworks. But as we dug deeper into local archives, we discovered the Degrassi family had lived in these hills for centuries. Their story fascinated us – and inspired us. Eventually, we connected with a distant family member, 91-year-old Aunt Giuseppina, and with her blessing, we adopted the name.

In 2016, Toscan Olive Garden was born.

Today, our estate is nestled in the heart of Tuscany, just south of Florence near San Polo in Chianti. Here, we care for our olive groves and vineyards with the same dedication and passion that first drew us to Italy. We believe in small-batch, honest production – rooted in tradition, guided by the land, and shared with love.

When Will I Receive My Olive Oil?

Harvesting of your rental olive tree starts each year in November and typically ends by late January or early February, depending on the weather and crop size.

We take the freshly picked olives daily to the mill to ensure the highest quality. After pressing, the oil is filtered and bottled to preserve its natural flavor and purity.

Bottled oils are shipped to our olive tree partners starting from early February. We begin dispatching the packages within approximately 30–45 days, so you can expect to receive your oil by mid-March at the latest.
