Found in Tuscany: Green Flame
http://foundintuscany.blogspot.com/2011/12/green-flame.html
One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Monday, December 26, 2011.

And an ancient symbol of peace. That's why our favorite gift to friends and loved ones during the holiday season is oil from our own olives handpicked with care. Peace to all. Over a Tuscan Stove.

Literally "wall-makers"), the Brandini brothers, Paulo (far right) and Claudio (middle).
