This summer, we obtained the "IGP - Tuscany" certification, the protected geographical indication for Tuscany, for all 6 of our olive tree fields.
The inspection focused on the 2744 trees that we cultivate, and it certified that they belonged to typical Tuscan varieties, such as Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoio, Pentollino and Rosselino.
The certification also looked at the way we prune our olive trees, which had to comply with the traditional olive oil making practices of Tuscany. This specific method gives our olive tree fields the classical postcard-like aspect of Tuscan landscapes.
Of course, the olive oil must also be produced in Tuscany. In our case, it is made at the Aldobrandeschi olive oil press at Campagnatico, of which I am an active administrative member.
We are very proud to bring you a flavourful olive oil, rooted in the century-old traditions of Tuscan olive oil making.
To defend this tradition, we are also members of the Consortium for the protection and denomination of Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil, which promotes the quality of the olive oil of the region.
