Certificate of quality
L'Orciolo d'Oro
Abruzzo is one of the most interesting olive-growing areas by vocation and production quality thanks to an average production of about 260.000 tons of oil, largely extra-virgin oil that places it sixth in Italy and in other production regions of olives. It has an olive coverage of 45.000 hectares from which are produced 1.400.000 tons of olives planted with the adoption of layouts that do not have precise patterns, typical of tree crops affiliated to field crops.
Our vision of oil
The link with the area, its traditions of Italy, with its millennial olive culture that is characterized by a unique biodiversity within the world are sources of inspiration for our creations.
Our oils are handmade, extra virgin olive and high quality, simply because it is the only way we know how to do it, because we love what we do, because this is our culture and because we are proud of what we produce.
oils produced in Italy, from Italian raw materials.
Our philosophy is expressed in the enhancement of some local cultivars and the production of oil that we consider to be works of art.
For all this, we are committed to our work every day, passing on the best of our olive oil tradition, a profession we have proudly practiced for over a century…
THE HARVEST OF OLIVES
The harvest is among the most important of operations to obtain a good olive oil.
It is recommended that the olives are harvested by manually stripping or combing resulting in a quality product that avoids collection on the ground of fallen olives.
“Brucatura” the Olive hand picking: collection of handmade olive choosing individually strong response at the right point of ripeness,
is the best collection method although very slow but is essential when the plants are on rough terrain.
“Pettinatura”: handpicking facilitated by a tool that strips the more mature olives, combing the branches of the plant.
The olives are harvested once falls on specific networks set up at the foot of the plant.
Olive oil tradition
The olive oil production techniques arrived in Italy about 4000 years ago. The peculiarity of the Italian olive tradition is testified by the different varieties of cultivars in the area. The varietal differences affect the sensory profile and nutritional oils, as well as on technologies to enhance its characteristics.
The cultivation has been practiced since ancient times in Abruzzo:
Virgilio certifies its presence in Marsica,
Ovid documents the production in the Valle Peligna,
Cato, in his De Re Rustica, cites the oil Agro Pretuziano, Silio Italico defines the Vestina area and Penne in particular the “Pinnam Virentem” (the green) for the richness of the olive trees.
...Olio
la tua inesauribile pace,
la tua essenza verde,
il tuo ricolmo tesoro che discende dalle sorgenti dell'ulivo
