In the beautiful hills above Montelupo Fiorentino we own one of the most excellent areas to cultivate the famous Oliveoil of Toscana.
In about 5 hectars of land we have about thousend plants, over 300 of them were planted during the regency of the “Granduca di Toscana”, Pietro Leopoldo, at the end of the 18th century. The location of the place – 200 meters above sea-level - is so advantageous that we can do without any antiparassitic treatment.
The plants we use are “Moraiolo”, “Leccino” and “Frantoiano” which give the typical taste of original tuscan olive oil - fruity, fresh and rich.
In November, when the fruits are quite mature, we pick them by hand, fill them in small cases (about 20 Kg) and bring them, never later than 3 days after, to the “Frantoio”, the oilmill. At the mill the olives will be washed and “cold pressed". After two weeks the oil will be filtered with pure cotton and filled in dark bottles, to save it from light and oxygen.
