FOOD & WINE

Tuscany captivates not only with its landscapes and art, but also with its exceptional food and wine tradition, where simplicity meets quality. In the hills around Vinci, in the heart of the Chianti region, you’ll discover a rich variety of flavors: wines, cured meats, cheeses, honey, and local specialties that reflect the richness of the land. A true highlight is Tuscan extra virgin olive oil, produced with great care and high-quality standards. During your stay at Podere Jana, you’ll have the opportunity to taste it and appreciate its intense aroma and balanced flavor. Another local treasure is the white truffle of San Miniato, known as “white gold” for its rarity and value, especially prized in autumn. Experiencing Tuscany also means following its flavors, discovering authentic products, and turning every meal into a memorable experience. 

Olive oil is one of Tuscany’s finest agricultural products, renowned for centuries. It is still produced using traditional methods, with olives grown and processed much as they were in the past. 

 In some areas, limited and carefully selected production has earned IGP and DOP status (Protected Geographical Indication and Protected Designation of Origin). Producers must follow strict regulations to ensure quality and authenticity. 

 Each stage, from cultivation to pressing and bottling, is monitored, ensuring full traceability. Only oil that meets rigorous standards can be labeled as Tuscan IGP. 

This traceability guarantees transparency and ensures that every bottle is 100% authentic Tuscan extra virgin olive oil.
