Organic extra virgin olive oil production
Lucca
ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Our organic EVOO production in Lucca includes a range of organically grown extra virgin olive oils, characterized by very low acidity and peroxide levels and a high polyphenolic content. These characteristics are the result of a timely olive harvest, carried out at the optimal point of ripeness to preserve their quality and nutritional properties.
The pressing takes place at low temperatures, on the same day as the harvest, in our company's mini-mill with a two-phase system. This process prevents contamination with external batches of olives and reduces the risk of deterioration of the drupes, preserving their aromatic and structural components.
The result is a high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil, an authentic expression of the Lucca region and the fruit of a supply chain controlled at every stage, from cultivation to milling.
OUR OILS
LECCINO
It is characterized by being a very balanced oil, with a fresh aroma and a slightly bitter and slightly fruity flavor, also featuring some spicy notes. A generally delicate oil that pairs well with fish-based dishes.
OIL MILL
It's a very fresh oil, initially a deep green in color; it has strong vegetal notes, intensely fruity, and nuances of fresh grass, artichoke, and green almond. The resulting extra virgin olive oil is of excellent quality: refined, aromatic, savory, and fruity.
MORAIOLO
Clear appearance, medium fluidity, and green color. The aroma offers balsamic, almost mentholated nuances, reminiscent of nettles, with a finish of black pepper. The flavor is persistently spicy, with hints of laurel, thistle, and medicinal herbs, and a powerful yet elegant herbaceous note. Moraiolo is characterized as a high-quality variety.
MULTIVARIETAL
Sweet and fruity, with hints of almond on the palate, light hints of bitterness, and a pleasantly spicy finish, the Multivarietale combines different varieties of olives, creating a harmonious taste and offering consumers those flavors and aromas that most closely resemble the traditional taste of olive oils from our Lucca hills.
