This oil was born directly from our domain «podere cappuccini». You will taste an extra virgin oil from a superior kind, coming from a century-old olive grove without the slightest treatment. From the size of the olive tree to the harvest of the olives, traditions are entirely respected without any mechanical help. Olives are being manually harvested, following the traditional method called Brucatura. Its big advantage is its respect on olives, which entirety and quality are being fully preserved. The «podere cappuccini» domain in fact has the privilege of being on a mountainous terrain, shaped by the sun, the wind and the natural elements, completely solution-free. Thus, the land is placed in a circurs, protected from the wind and humidity of the Trasimeno lake. The village of Cortona is the birthplace of the Etruscan civilisation. From this heritage, we chose this terracotta bottle as the case which evokes an ancestral amphora.
