Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A Ritual that Renews Itself

The Olive Harvest

Olio extra vergine d'oliva Casa RuraleWhen autumn colors the olive groves golden, one of the most anticipated moments of the year begins: the olive harvest. It is a work that unites entire generations, where grandparents, children and grandchildren gather under the same trees that the family has tended for decades.

Experienced hands select the best fruits, one by one, with that care that only someone who knows each plant can have. The ladders against the trunks, the nets spread on the ground, the intense fragrance of fresh olives: these are ancient gestures that repeat themselves with the same passion as always. It is real effort, but also a celebration, because people work together, tell stories, pass on trade secrets and share lunch in the shade of the olive trees.

From harvest to oil mill, time is precious: just a few hours separate the fruit from the oil, to preserve all the fragrance and qualities that make each vintage unique. It is this dedication, this respect for the rhythms of nature and work well done, that transforms simple olives into an extraordinary oil, guardian of authentic flavors and a tradition that lives on in every drop.

Our Extra vergin olive oli

The olive harvest for the production of oil for family use is a tradition that reflects our peasant origins and that has accompanied us even when our life ran along different tracks.

When the family reunited in San Vincenzo with the acquisition of the Casa Rurale the cultivation of the four hectares of olive grove that embrace it was an almost ancestral and unavoidable call.

The estate is home to some of the typical Tuscan cultivars: Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino, from which our blend with its characteristic spicy aftertaste is produced.
