The cultivars that go into making our oil are Leccino, Frantoio, Dolce Agogia and Moraiolo. We only take olives from the trees (and never from the ground!). We press the olives no more than 12 hours after harvesting at controlled temperatures to obtain cold extraction. This process is necessary to obtain a flawless oil, with organoleptic characteristics and health benefits that last over time.
