Description
What kind of olive oil is this
Olio Extra Vergine d’Oliva by Castello di Monsanto is a cold-extracted elegant expression of the Tuscan terroir. It displays a vivid green colour that naturally develops warm yellow hues over time. The olfactory profile is defined by fresh fruit aromas, leading to a fragrant, balanced, and rounded palate. This oil offers a clean, harmonious finish, designed to enhance culinary dishes without overpowering the natural flavours of the ingredients.
Where it comes from
Hailing from Tuscany, this oil is produced by Castello di Monsanto, an estate founded in 1962. Managed by the Bianchi family, represented by Fabrizio and Laura Bianchi, the property covers 72 hectares. Guided by the expertise of oenologist Andrea Giovannini, the estate’s deep-rooted connection to the land results in a consistently fruity profile. This distinct Tuscan origin is faithfully expressed, offering a balanced palate and a truly authentic sensory identity.
How it is produced
The production process relies entirely on cold extraction, a meticulous low-temperature technique essential for preserving the oil’s natural characteristics. By processing the harvested olives under strictly controlled conditions, the estate ensures the final oil remains remarkably fragrant and clean. This gentle method successfully retains vibrant fresh fruit notes and a rounded taste, guaranteeing a distinct aromatic definition and superb sensory freshness.

Today Laura, Fabrizio's daughter, continues what her father, thanks to her grandfather Aldo, started, by transforming longstanding tradition with pride and tenacity. Because the future passes right through here: from what was built yesterday for a better tomorrow. Read more
