THE CULTIVAR
Frantoio
The Frantoio,
native to our region, has a good consistency in
productivity and adapts well to summer and winter temperatures.
The olives are mostly of an intense green colour with chromatic variations
tending to yellow with some purple notes.
The resulting oil has a complex taste with references to the taste of artichoke,
thistle with a background of almonds.
Leccino
IL leccino is a plant widespread in Tuscany for the production of oil,
very present on the Florentine hills. The plant is characterized by an early
ripening that leads the olive to a black color.
The oil obtained from the cultivar leccino is of delicate taste without bitter
and spicy notes of particular prominence.
Moraiolo
Moraiolo is a widespread plant in Tuscany for the production of oil,
very present on the Florentine hills.
The olives produced are small but with a good oil yield.
The color of the olives varies from deep green to black.
The resulting oil has a taste with vegetal notes, decidedly bitter
and spicy with leaf aftertaste and woody notes.
