History of the bottle

The cultivation of the olive tree has very ancient origins in Tuscany and on our hills the olive tree best expresses its qualities. Following an agricultural philosophy of balance and respect for nature, we cultivate our olive trees with care and attention and we are rewarded with a product that fully represents Tuscan excellence.
Harvest period

Pressing Technique
The pressing is carried out by machines that extract the oil from the olives cold at temperatures below 25 ° C to avoid oxidation.

Advice on conservation and curiosities
The oil is kept away from sudden changes in temperature and from contact with light. It has a natural resistance to oxygen so it has a good conservation even once the package has been opened. Extra virgin olive oil is a food with a not very long life, it does not have a real expiration date, but over time it loses all the properties that make it unique. A freshly produced oil has a greenish color and a very strong and pungent flavor, after just a few months the color fades to golden yellow and the flavor softens. The Tuscan custom is to use “new” oil on all dishes while the oil from the previous year or more is used in the kitchen for cooking the dishes themselves.
