Description
What type of oil it is
Castello di Ama Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced in Tuscany, is made from a selection of Correggiolo, Moraiolo, Leccino and Frantoio varieties. It presents a brilliant green colour, destined to evolve over time towards golden highlights. Its fresh and fruity profile expresses clear vegetal notes of green leaf and chlorophyll. On the palate, it is fragrant and round, characterised by a pleasant spicy note accompanied by the typical bitter aftertaste of freshly pressed oil.
Where it comes from
This extra virgin oil is born in Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of the province of Siena, immersed in the Tuscan landscape. The processing, carried out entirely within the Castello di Ama estate, ensures a direct link between the olive groves and the estate's own oil mill.
How it is produced
The production cycle begins with a rigorous manual harvest of the olives, followed by mechanical pressing carried out on the same day. To ensure a superior level of quality, Castello di Ama maintains a deliberately low yield for every single tree. Finally, the oil rests in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, protected from light and air, so as to prevent oxidation and preserve its aromatic characteristics intact.
History and interesting facts
Castello di Ama Olive Oil is produced in Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany. For the 2025 harvest, the fine olive varieties Correggiolo, Moraiolo, Leccino and Frantoio are hand-picked and pressed on the same day to preserve their intense fragrance and full nutritional profile. To guarantee superior excellence, the estate maintains a deliberately low yield, obtaining less than one litre of oil per tree. Finally, this precious nectar rests in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, protected from light and oxygen, thus keeping its extraordinary original freshness intact over time.
