100% Italiano
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our 100% Italiano is born where the olive tree’s splendid and magnanimous nature is expressed by the quality and quantity of its yield. More than 1000 hectares between Puglia, Basilicata and Sicily are cultivated with love and passion: here individual experiences are lost amongst the memories of ancient olive trees, which generate a rich and intensely perfumed Extravirgin Olive Oil in harmony and equilibrium.
Characteristics
The production line consists of a low-oxygen impact system that maintains the maximum oil contained in the just-picked olives. The team adjusts all the parameters according to the olive varieties and their health, temperature, ripening, water concentration and the aromas and flavours desired in the end result. Once extracted, the oil is filtered immediately through cellulose panels to remove 99% of the water. It is stored in stainless steel vats, away from the light, at temperatures ranging between 14 and 20°C to extend the shelf life. Bottling takes place in an inert atmosphere using bottles that reduce UV penetration to 97%.
