…Our firm, situated in a green valley
in the heart of Umbria, has been present in the market now for more than 40 years. We have the
experience and the secrets typified by the pressings of our thriving house of olives, a company
tradition that still today, thanks to the appointment of qualified personnel and careful
craftsmanship, bestows on the products exceptional characteristics of goodness and
taste.
Our products are intended for an elite few of connoisseurs for
specialized sale. The consumer who doesn't look for a product that is common and featureless,
exploited by the hard laws of the marketplace, but who looks for the quality and the genuineness of
a product typically Umbrian.
Amongst all the issues of the season, the first produced is our
Extra Virgin Oil “Frantoio" which is known primarily for its genuineness and purity. It is obtained
with respect to an ancient tradition in all phases from the harvest to the selection of the olives
and concluding with the crushing through presses and wheels of stone. This tradition is Umbrian,
and from Spoleto in particular.
For the preservation of the precious juice of the olive, we have
used squared bottles of glass, without any process of mechanical filtration. This better enhances
the oil and leaves it transparent, accenting the colour of the oil, veiled in which and preserved
in suspension are the small particles of olive pulp.
This natural oil is guaranteed by us each day to the confidence and
satisfaction of a connoisseur who appreciates fully all the characteristics of purity and
genuineness. This is confirmed by the values [organolettici] (where we don't find rivals in the
market) maintaining a constant of exceptional quality with an acidity never greater than
0.2%.
If we have offered the ultimate in deserved praises, similar
commendation goes to our Extra Virgin Oil "Contadino", with a character more modest and common. If
this oil is "common" few have the quality of our extra virgin oil of second pressing, with acidity
consistently between 0.5 and 0.6 %. It is always excellent for fish, vegetables, game,
etc.
To compliment our products our firm commercializes some Umbrian
specialties combined with our own oils: the "Truffle Sauce" with a base of truffles, cultivated
porcini mushrooms and spices; and pâtés of black olives or select greens. From the beginning there
has only been one proof, but the compared success obliges us to seek new and different recipes to
answer the always increasing demands of market's needs.
