Description

Of our 2,000 trees, about a third are over a century old. Some are millennials and one has been identified as being 1,400 years old. Yields are very low (2 to 4 litres per tree, with older trees only fruiting every other year) and the groves are not irrigated. The main varietals are Biancolilla, Giaraffa, Nocellara and the ancient Ogliara. The trees are cultivated without pesticides or irrigation and the oil is certified ‘organic’. The harvest is in October and the oil is cold pressed and unfiltered. The oil is green with a peppery finish. Ideal for dressing and dipping.
