…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.
