Our project isn’t simply born from a farming operation, but from a deep connection to the land and a vision: to honor the Umbrian olive growing tradition by transforming it into a daily pursuit of excellence. Our company is located in an area where the favorable climate and unique soil composition create the ideal microclimate for olive trees to grow healthy, lush, and full of the strength that only pristine nature can provide.
We cultivate every single tree with care and dedication, following a production philosophy that places respect for natural rhythms at its core. We don’t force the earth; we listen to it, protecting the environment surrounding our olive groves to ensure that every drop of oil is the purest expression of our valley.
The Legacy of Our Olive Groves: From the Centuries-Old to the New
The beating heart of the company is the centuries-old olive grove, a living monument to the agricultural history of this area. Here we primarily find the Moraiolo and Raio varieties, ancient cultivars that give the oil character, structure, and that bold flavor so typical of authentic Umbria.
Over the years, we have chosen to grow this dream, expanding the property with new facilities:
- In 2005, we introduced new plants to enrich the blend.
- In 2019, the family further expanded with cultivars of Leccino, Leccio del Corno and Frantoio.
This variety of plants allows us to obtain an extra virgin olive oil with a complex and balanced sensory profile, where the spicy notes of the Moraiolo blend with the delicacy of the Leccino and the herbaceous aromas of the Frantoio.
The Art of Cultivation: The Polyconic Pot Technique
For us, quality isn’t a matter of chance, but the result of precise technical choices. Every stage of production, starting with pruning, is carried out with the utmost care. We strictly follow the polyconic vase technique, a training system that respects the physiology of the olive tree, allowing for better lighting and ventilation of the canopy. This not only ensures healthier trees, but also facilitates uniform fruit ripening and sustainable management of the olive grove.
Excellence in Six Hours: The Race Against Time
The secret of our extra virgin olive oil lies in speed and control. We know that every minute spent between harvesting and frying is crucial to preserving the polyphenols and aromas. We harvest exclusively at the ideal point of ripeness, when the olives express their full organoleptic properties.
But it’s after the olives are detached from the branch that the real magic happens: they are pressed within 6 hours of harvest. This rapid process prevents oxidation and guarantees a top-quality product, rich in natural antioxidants, with an intense aroma and vibrant flavor.
A Sip of Authentic Umbria
Our oil isn’t just a condiment; it’s the story of a season, a region, and a family’s commitment. It’s a tale of tradition, care, and love for the olive tree, designed for those seeking an honest, healthy, and unforgettable product.
