The hill that run from Assisi down towards the springs of the Clitunno
form, partly because of the climate, partly because their shape, the ideal
ground on which to grow olives. Our olive groves, or "chiuse" as
they are called here, are situated in the centre of this area, between
Foligno and Trevi in a place called Cancellara.
The
olive harvest is carried out by hand enables the fruit to be picked when
it is not yet very mature. This ensures a minor quantity of linoleic acid
which influences the organoleptic characteristics of the oil and steps up
the ageing process.
Milling
takes place within 36 hours from the time of picking in our
own oil-mill so that the product is processede by an ecological
natural cold press method. The olive oil obtained in this way has a level
of acidity of under 05% with a coefficient of digestibleness equal to 100.
IF
you come and visit us (in the months of November / December) we will show
you around our mill and let you taste what we have just described in words
and you will be able to taste for yourselves that not all extra vergin
olive oils are the same. This oil is unique in quality and origin
and is choise quality only and it can be appreciated best when used raw on
any dish. The growing, harvesting and processing techniques all limit our
production and prevent us from entering normal commercial distribuition
channels. We only sell our oil at our mill or by mail-order using the
attached card or you can call.
