The Fattoria di Poggiopiano Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced exclusively from the olives picked in our olive groves from Organic Agriculture.
In November, when the color changes from green to violet, olives are picked directly from the trees respecting the entirety of the fruits, avoiding bruising and skin damage, principal causes of the oxidation of the product.
Olives, after a few hours from the picking, are taken to the milling still fresh: essential condition to guaranteeing a fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil, preserving the typical fresh olive taste. In this way we are able to obtain a true "olive juice", completely natural and rich of antioxidants substances , really precious for our health.
For its characteristics our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is really resistant to high temperatures, and so it is suitable for cooking, too.
