The Birth of Podere Il Casale’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
With the arrival of autumn, the landscape takes on new colors. In our fields, one of the most anticipated moments of the year begins: the olive harvest.
It is a time filled with rich aromas, hands at work, and ancient traditions that are renewed each season. Moreover, it is the moment when our commitment to quality and care truly shows.
Hand Harvesting: Respect for the Tree and Its Fruit
In our olive grove, we harvest exclusively by hand, using small rakes and nets placed under the trees. This method helps us preserve the integrity of the olives and prevents bruising or damage.
Harvesting by hand also means respecting nature’s rhythms. We select only the olives that have reached perfect ripeness, when they hold the ideal balance between flavor and oil content.
As a result, every olive contributes to the quality of our organic extra virgin olive oil.
From the Field to the Mill: Cold Pressing
Once harvested, we take the olives immediately to the mill. Here, the process of cold pressing begins. This step is crucial because it minimizes oxidation and retains all the fruit’s aromas and nutritional properties.
We process the olives at low temperatures, below 27°C, to produce a high-quality cold-pressed olive oil. The result is an oil with a fruity aroma, a harmonious taste, and pleasant grassy notes with a delicate peppery finish.
An Organic Oil, Born from the Earth and Human Care
Our extra virgin olive oil is certified organic, produced without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Each drop reflects the purity of our land and the daily care we dedicate to our olive trees.
Furthermore, it represents our commitment to offering an authentic, healthy, and sustainable product that embodies the spirit of Podere Il Casale.
The Flavor of the New Oil
Finally, when the new oil is ready, its bright green color and intense aroma tell a story of nature, tradition, and passion. It is the result of a full year of mindful work among the olive trees and a deep bond with the land.
Enjoying it raw on a slice of Tuscan bread is the best way to savor its genuineness and the true character of our territory.
