The land is located in Umbria on a low relief at about 350m s.l.m. among the hills of Lake Trasimeno, characterized by particular climatic conditions and exposure to sunlight.The major Cultivars that we can find within this oil are Frantoio, Leccino and Dolce Agogia which, after the selection made in the olive grove, are delivered to the mill who works them immediately by cold pressing with stone millstones, as per millennial tradition. By choosing this method we have reduced the yield, but we have gained in quality, managing to keep the organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of the fruit unchanged, enhancing the selection work done previously.
