Description
What kind of olive oil is this?
Tommasi Olio Extra Vergine d’Oliva comes from the Negrar hills of Valpolicella. Processed swiftly at low temperatures to maintain its freshness, the oil offers a fruity and well-balanced profile of moderate intensity with a notably clean, light palate. Boasting an enveloping aroma, it excels in raw applications such as salads. It also serves as an excellent finishing oil for hot vegetarian dishes and soups, gently enhancing their natural flavours.
Geographical origin
The olive groves are situated between 240 and 500 metres above sea level in the Negrar hills of Valpolicella, Veneto. Tommasi has tended these estates since 1902, benefiting from a naturally ventilated setting that ensures healthy fruit. This microclimate fosters precise ripening and a highly defined aromatic expression. The hillside altitude provides ideal drainage, directly shaping the oil’s clean structure and moderately intense fruitiness.
Production process
Production begins with a meticulous manual harvest, followed immediately by rapid processing to prevent oxidation. The olives are milled using mechanical extraction at low temperatures. This authentic cold pressing preserves the fruit’s delicate organoleptic nuances. The oil is then separated from natural impurities to ensure absolute clarity and stability. This precise method guarantees a balanced profile and a persistent aroma.
History and Heritage
Hailing from the Negrar hills in Valpolicella, this extra virgin olive oil reflects a family heritage dating back to 1902. For four generations, the Tommasi estate has cultivated groves at altitudes between 240 and 500 metres, honouring a deep bond with the land. The 2024 vintage features hand-picked olives, which are swiftly cold-pressed at low temperatures using traditional mechanical extraction.
