Frances Mayes Celebrities Who Love Olive Oil

Mayes up and left the States and moved to Tuscany, where she purchased a rundown villa in Cortona. Her best-selling memoir, Under the Tuscan Sun: At Home in Italy -- later adapted into the Golden Globe-winning film starring Diane Lane -- tells the story of its renovation interspersed with recipes of Mediterranean favorites.

Mayes produces the award-winning Bramasole olive oil, from a blend of olive varieties handpicked “under the Tuscan sun.”
