Our olive oil
Overview
The Tuscan extra virgin olive oil from the Crete Senesi by Borgo La Pievina is a top-quality oil, cold-pressed from olives grown exclusively on our farm. It has a low acidity, generally below 0.8%, which guarantees its purity and authenticity.
Tasting Notes
- Colour: Emerald green with golden highlights, which may vary depending on the growing area and the harvest period.
- Aroma: Fruity, with notes of fresh grass, artichoke and sometimes almond. Hints of tomato and flowers may also be present.
- Taste: A balance of spicy and bitter, with an aftertaste reminiscent of artichoke, cardoon or other aromatic herbs. The bitterness and spiciness indicate the presence of polyphenols, compounds that are good for your health.
Production Area
Our extra virgin olive oil is produced exclusively in the Crete Senesi, one of the most renowned olive-growing areas in Tuscany. Our farm, Borgo La Pievina, is located in this beautiful region, where the climate and soil give the oil unique characteristics.
Production Method
- Harvest: The olives are harvested by hand or mechanically between October and December.
- Cold Pressing: The olives are taken to the mill within 24 hours of harvesting to guarantee freshness. They are cold-pressed at temperatures not exceeding 27°C to preserve the flavour and nutritional properties of the oil.
- Filtering: After pressing, the oil can be filtered to remove any impurities, although we prefer to leave it unfiltered to keep a richer, bolder flavour.
