EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
I.G.P. (Indicazione Geografica Protetta)

A premium, single estate extra virgin olive oil from our state of the art, 3Ha grove located 430m high, on the west-facing hills of Monte Rosola. The climatic conditions here provide for a naturally healthy environment for the olives. The earth, particularly favorable in its constitutional elements for olive trees, drains well and the winds maintain the fruit aerated and naturally insect-free.

The olives are picked by hand, carefully selected, then cold pressed without delay for maximum flavour preservations and very low acidity. The oil has a full-bodied aroma and its taste is fruity and slightly peppery, typical for the hill-grown Tuscan olive oil derived from the combination of Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino tree varieties.

The high levels of phenolic components (antioxidants) and low acidity render our oil particularly healthy.

I.G.P. Certification: our oil is certified as conforming to the very high quality standard of Tuscan regional extra virgin olive oil. Each batch is separately analyzed by the authorities, the quantity is registered and all bottles receive an individually numbered quality seal.

“The sensory impact is mature and very soft, enlivened by a fresh and fragrant floral touch, truly fine and different. In the mouth it reveals a light enrobing character, sign that it is rich in polifenolics, and which gives consistency to an elegantly sweet and pleasingly spicy taste sensation.” (Tasting of March 21, 2011-Seminario Permanente Veronelli)
