Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil is a simple olive juice, extracted through mechanical processes at a low temperature.
There are different cultivars, and it’s possible to either blend the different cultivars together, or to make a monocultivar which has a recognisable taste. On our farm we have:
Olivastra Seggianese
Leccino
Moraiolo
Frantoiano
The health of the fruit (olives), the cultivar, the time of harvesting, the correct pressing process, and last but not least, the agricultural conditions during the year all contribute to the taste of the olive oil.
Conserve olive oil in a dark place, away from heat. Close the bottle well to avoid early oxidisation.
