“This oil is the quintessential Tuscan olive oil. A nectar rich in vitamin E, perfect for a healthy, balanced diet. It’s the kind of oil we used to eat on bread toasted on the wood burning oven as children”
I.G.P. Extra Virgin is produced using olives harvested in mid-November. It boasts a beautiful green color with a strong fragrance of tomato leaves and freshly cut grass. Its flavor is slightly spiced with hints of artichoke and tomato stalk, typical of traditional Tuscan olive oil. This oil should be sampled simply on a slice of bread. Perfect for seasoning vegetables, soup, grilled meat and salads, to enhance the flavor of food.
Certification : Organic Extra Virgin Oil
Denomination : I.G.P. Toscano - Colline di Firenze
Cultivar : Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino
Biophenols : 600-800
Processing : Defoliation is followed by washing. Crushing is carried out using a milling machine to obtain a paste with a particularly homogeneous grain size and practically perfect dimensions to facilitate extraction. The kneading, at a controlled temperature of about 22°, is modulated between 16 and 45 minutes depending on the cultivar and the time of harvest. The last phase is separation, the first separating the solid part from the liquid part and the second separating the oil from the water. The whole process takes place in a controlled atmosphere and this allows us to avoid those fermentations that cause defects and allows a two/three to four times higher extraction of all the antioxidant compounds in the oil (Vitamin E, polyphenols, etc). At the outlet of the separator, the oil is immediately filtered to remove any impurities or water residues, which are extremely dangerous for the product. The yield is very variable depending on the year. Usually less than 15%.
Tasting notes : Elegant on the palate and with good balance, it is spicy with nutmeg and black pepper.
Pairing : Excellent for enhancing a semi- mature Tuscan pecorino and for a creamy cannellini bean soup.
