Our olives, all from the olive groves surrounding our castle, are harvested from plants about 15 years of age, all originating from traditional Tuscan varieties, such as Leccino, Correggiolo and Moraiolo. The Leccia terroir is very favorable to olive growing, having mineral rich soils, in which the olive tree can sink its roots without difficulty. The terroir is furthermore situated at a decisive altitude for olive growing, thus increasing the complexity of our oils.
The very same day of harvesting, the olives are processed at the oil mill and the oil is extracted by means of the cold press method, thus giving a higher quality product. At the conclusion of the entire process, the oil is filtered and in the days that follow, it is bottled, with great care being taken not to disturb its organoleptic properties.
