We are a family-run farm located in Alta Tuscia on the border with Lazio and Umbria, we produce extra virgin olive oil.
The lands overlooking the Tiber Valley, located in the Tuscia area, are of volcanic origin, particularly fertile and rich in precious nutrients for the growth of olive trees.
Our 1000 olive trees are located in a hilly area about 300 meters above sea level. they are expertly irrigated with a drip system, thus helping them in the drought and favoring an excellent ripening of the fruits. Being all divided into sectors according to the Cultivar, this allows us a selected collection, useful for the production of our extra virgin olive oil.
The olives of our Canino, Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino trees give us a high quality extra virgin olive oil with each harvest.
The olive harvest is done from the end of October, when they have reached the right ripeness, it takes place by hand and/or with the aid of mechanical combs which facilitate the fall of the fruit.
On the day of the harvest, the olives are delivered to the mill for milling. Milling the freshly harvested olives is an important element that contributes to the absolute quality of the product.
The pressing takes place cold in a continuous cycle, guaranteeing the genuineness of an extra virgin olive oil with a fruity aroma that reveals slightly spicy notes on the palate.
