Our olive oil
Natural oil par excellence
In this video Alessandro Tincani – Technician from Podere Manni, explains the cultivation technique with Kaolin, 100% natural.
Kaolin is rock dust, dissolved in water and sprayed directly, which performs a dual activity on the tree canopy. First it creates a white protective film, which reflects sunlight. This protects the plant from the risks of sun exposure.
It is also an effective alternative to copper in preventing fungal or bacterial diseases that affect the olive tree.
The white protective film that remains on the plants, in fact, interferes with oviposition on the drupes.
Harvest at veraison
The secret is when we harvest.
The harvest begins when the olives begin veraison: they change colour and the skin darkens but the pulp continues to be white.
This is the moment in which there is a strong concentration of polyphenols in the drupe which manifest themselves by giving our oil a scent of fresh grass and bitter and spicy notes in the mouth with an artichoke aftertaste.
Polyphenols, in addition to characterizing an excellent extra virgin olive oil, are very powerful natural antioxidants, true allies of our well-being, fundamental in nutrition.
Extra virgin olive oil 227 is obtained directly from olives using mechanical processes.
From grove to bottle
Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino: about 3,000 litres of oil a year, which we follow ourselves from tree to bottle. A small, traceable production.
OL.MA oil mill. - Where our oil is extracted
