A refined, noteworthy extra virgin oil
This extra virgin oil which is produced from centuries old trees (the jewels of the family run Agricultural Company Terre di Calabria) using the cold pressing method is worthy of note and refined.
Here, in the heart of unspoiled Calabria, the olives, exclusively from centuries old trees, are harvested by hand before complete maturity then immediately pressed with the utmost care by our Master Olive oil expert.
Every phase of the operation is carefully monitored both in the groves and in the oil pressing plant in order to safeguard the soul of these ancient trees. Every part of the process aims at enhancing the beneficial characteristics, the quality and the excellence of a luxury Italian product.
