The Essence of L’Oliveto Olive Oil
At L’Oliveto, olive oil is more than an ingredient — it’s the purest expression of the land itself. It carries the story of our century-old trees, the Tuscan sun, and the care with which our olives are grown, picked, and pressed.
Our oil reflects the balance that guides everything we do here: respect for nature, a deep connection to earth, and the joy of sharing something truly authentic.
The Craft - From tree to table
Our oil is certified organic and extra virgin, produced from a blend of traditional olive varieties — Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio, and Maurino. The estate is home to around 200 century-old trees, alongside 280 newly planted olives of the same varieties. Together, they create a balanced grove that reflects both heritage and renewal, ensuring a rich, authentic flavor and healthy biodiversity.
Each autumn, the olives are handpicked by us and cold-pressed early in the season, around mid-October. This early harvest reduces the yield but enhances the quality, resulting in an oil that is low in acidity, rich in antioxidants, and full of vitality. With its bright golden-green color, it offers fresh notes of grass, artichoke, and almond, and a pleasantly spicy finish.
How to enjoy it
Whether drizzled over a salad, fresh vegetables, added to fresh pasta, or simply enjoyed on a piece of bread, our olive oil brings a taste of Tuscany to your table. Its vibrant flavor enhances dishes both simple and refined, celebrating the essence of natural, living food.
Treatments in harmony with nature
Our olive trees have stood here for centuries, deeply rooted in Tuscan soil. They are treated with care according to regenerative and permaculture principles that nurture the soil and preserve its natural harmony. Each harvest is a moment of gratitude and connection to the living earth.
