Green Gold, New 2023 EVO Oil

Today 27 October 2023 we started pressing our Olives, obtaining an excellent quality of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This 2023, unlike the 2022 harvest, was much less productive. Furthermore, we at Bolognami consider ourselves very lucky, as our olive trees, located in Umbria on the hills between Lake Trasimeno and Lake Chiusi, were of excellent quality, healthy without any disease, and have not been attacked by the so-called oil fly. This insect was once completely absent in our production area and the problem particularly concerned Southern Italy and the Islands, but with climate change and rising temperatures, it also affected certain areas of Umbria and Tuscany in some years can be attacked

D.O.P. Certified Olive Grove Umbria

Our 2023 L'Novo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not exceptional just because it comes from a Certified Umbria D.O.P. olive grove, it is exceptional because we at Bolognami do not give any chemical fertilizer, we protect the environment without do no treatment to the plants, we mow the grass that grows in the olive grove and we shave it there, to make its humus which enriches the soil, the harvest directly from the plant is only semi-green olives and at the right level of ripeness, we clean them from too much foliage, we take them to grind immediately so that they don't ferment, we cold grind them with the ancient method, only in this way can we obtain the best of the Zero Acidity EVO oil. High level of acidity and organoleptic characteristics which give it a perfume, a aroma, an unparalleled flavour, this is why we are beyond Sustainable Agriculture

Cost Increase for EVO Oil 2023

For Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and especially for Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, this 2023 is not a simple year. In addition to the poor production, and sometimes not even of excellent quality, a set of problems have arisen deriving from the cost of the energy that passes from collection to processing, leading to an increase in the cost of the finished product. We at Bolognami, making a notable sacrifice, have left the prices of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil as in the year 2022, without making any increases. All this not to the detriment of the quality which we are keeping as high as always

The Importance of High Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil

We at Bolognami have always made no compromises on the quality of the EVO Oil we produce, we have the claim, as good farmers of the past, that Olive Oil is the most precious commodity that realizes during the year, we also seek excellence for our daily consumption of oil, we only want that, and in the exact same way we want those who purchase our products to have the same exceptional experience, and we are sure that once they have used the our Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Umbria will understand that our work and our attention have not been in vain
