QUALITY AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
TASTY AND HEALTHY
The company produces extra virgin olive oil cultivated by its partners in the Val d’Orcia area (the municipalities of Castiglione d’Orcia, San Quirico d’Orcia, Montalcino, Pienza, Radicofani) and in part of the municipality of Seggiano where there is an indigenous cultivar, the “olivastra seggianese”. The varieties of oil cultivated are: olivastra, frantoio, correggiolo, moraiolo, leccino, pendolino, as well as others in small quantities.
The characteristics of our oil are typically Tuscan. A good fruity fragrance, slightly bitter and spicy, with a hint of fresh olive and an after-taste of thistle and artichoke. The colour is green/yellow with golden highlights. It is a prime quality oil which has profound ties with its land of origin, characterised by a very low acidic level (0.10% on pressing, to a maximum of 0.30%) and very rich in polyphenols, anti-oxidants which contribute to keeping us young.
It is very easy to digest and has a high vitamin content, so we can safely say that it is good for you.
