100% extra virgin olive oil straight from the Farm
Our olives are picked by hand with the aid of combs and nets between late October and mid-November. The harvesting period depends on the variety and maturity of the olives. They are carefully selected and within a few hours sent to the press, where they are subjected to cold pressing. The very high quality of our extra virgin olive oil is due to the nature of the soil in which our trees are planted, the early harvest and also the first pressing.
100% Made in Italy
The olives we use to produce our oil come from olive trees planted on our property ONLY: buying our oil means to be sure to bring to your table an extra virgin olive oil which is 100% Italian and – especially in our case – the authenticity and goodness of 100% Tuscan olive oil. The percentage point of acidity of our extra-virgin is approximately 0.20%. This very low percentage point of oleic acid proves the high quality of our product (the maximum threshold set by the law is 0.80%). Only the best oils can be classified as “extra virgin”, they must be produced entirely by mechanical means without the use of any solvents, under temperatures that will not degrade the oil and contain a free acidity, expressed as oleic acid of not more than 0,80%.

Cultivation techniques. Our company follows the growing procedures related to the so called integrated agriculture, as required by the Tuscan Regulation: “General principles for the agricultural production obtained from the integrated agriculture method” (Rural Development Plan 2007- 2013 EC Reg. 1698/2005 and Regional Law 14th April 1999 n. 25)*
The integrated pest control is a crop protection system that provides a drastic reduction of pesticides, implementing different necessary measures. These include:
- – the use of pesticides that are slightly or non-toxic to humans and beneficial insects;
- – fighting against pest insect by mating disruption methods (use of pheromone diffusers);
- – the use of selective pesticides (eliminating only certain insects);
- – pesticides that can be easily denatured by the biochemical action of the soil and air;
- – trying to predict the occurrence of the conditions causing the development of parasites, in order to use specific pesticides only in case of an actual danger and not at fixed time intervals as a preventive measure;
- – special care and elimination of infected plants.
