Organic Extra Virgin
Olive Oil
Our organic extra virgin olive oil is a mixture of different varieties of olives, all TOSCANE.
This gives it a typical taste not too strong.
Also the exposure of the valley to the south and towards the sea makes our oil sweeter than the ‘hinterland.
It is an extra virgin organic olive oil that is fruity, not too green, but usually spicy, especially when just pressed.
The taste is not too bitter, balanced, well matched to different dishes (Minestre, sauces, bruschetta).
Given its low initial acidity, if it is well preserved, it remains for a long time. Usually the oil does not improve with aging (like wine) so it is better to eat it young.
However we ourselves use the oil of the previous year for the preparation of more delicate dishes and in desserts or in cooking when the olive flavor must not dominate the others.
