EXTRA VIRGIN OIL
The oil obtained from the mix of Leccino and Favolosa trees offers exceptional flavor. The distinctive notes of Leccino, with its fruity and sweet profile, combine with Favolosa, which is characterized by a more herbaceous and spicy taste.
The result of combining these varieties is a balanced, versatile oil with a slight bitter aftertaste and a pleasant mouthfeel.
HOW WE PLANT OLIVE TREES
RESISTANT TO THE BACTERIUM
We plant the only two varieties of olive trees (Leccino and Favolosa) that have been shown to be resistant and tolerant to Xylella bacteria due to their physical characteristics.
BIODIVERSITY
To ensure biodiversity, we also plant other plant species along the perimeter of our olive groves, many of them native, such as holm oaks, oaks, figs and many others.
TRADITIONAL PLANTING SIXTH
We ensure the right space for olive trees to grow in a healthy way, without exploiting the resources and minerals in that field.
SHIPPING OF OIL
We ship oil to Italy and all over Europe.
It is shipped between October and March to ensure maximum freshness. If you prefer to receive it earlier, simply indicate this in the notes before payment.
For the first few years the oil that is shipped comes from trees already in production.

Adopt an Olive Tree: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the adoption fee single or annual?
The adoption fee is ANNUAL , but you can decide to renew the adoption at the time of the deadline.
Renewal is done manually. We will notify you of the deadline about ten days in advance by email.
What name can I give to my tree?
You can name it however you like: with your name, the name of a loved one, a fancy name, the name of a place or what it symbolizes for you (happiness, freedom, peace, etc.).
If you adopt more than one olive tree, you may decide to assign a single name to the entire olive grove or one name for each tree, dividing them with a comma or hyphen.
When it comes to a gift usually the adopted tree is assigned the recipient’s name or nickname.
The name of the olive tree will appear on the adoption certificate and on the plaque hanging on the tree, along with the first and last name of the person who adopted it or who will receive it as a gift.
When will I receive the oil?

We will package your oil accurately and safely, to get the product to arrive in top condition.
What am I entitled to for each adoption?

With the Gold plan you will receive 1o liters of oil for the first 3 years, while for the next two years you will be entitled to 20 liters of oil, rising to 30 liters past the first 6 years.
