Olive Oil
Our olive grove has some 500 trees on about two hectares. There are a few really old ones - maybe over 300 years, who knows - but most have been planted either by grandpa or by his father.
We hand harvest our olive trees early in autumn to obtain a a high quality, extra-virgin, organic oil that contains all the taste, smells, flavours and colours of our land. The fruit is cold-pressed to keep all those smells and good properties in the oil.
If you feel that the oil is slightly ‘piccante’, that means it feels a bit hot on your palate, than that is the result of the fruit being harvested before it is fully ripe and when it still has all its aromas. Fresh quality oil should always ‘tickle your gums’ a little bit.
We also harvest the big Olive Ascolane to produce the finest and lightest of extra virgin oils, or we stuff and fry them to make the famous ‘Olive Fritte Ascolane’.
