Description
What kind of olive oil is this?
San Giusto a Rentennano Olio Extra Vergine d’Oliva is a certified organic extra virgin olive oil from Tuscany that delivers an intense and fresh flavour. Produced by San Giusto a Rentennano, this harmonious blend is predominantly composed of the Frantoio variety, alongside Leccino, Moraiolo, and Pendolino olives. The oil offers a beautifully structured, well-balanced palate that showcases the natural vitality of the fruit. Precise extraction methods ensure remarkable clarity and stability, providing an authentic taste that captures the essence of the olives.
Where does it come from?
Originating from Tuscany, this oil is deeply rooted in an area celebrated for its agricultural heritage. San Giusto a Rentennano oversees the entire production process, ensuring strict estate control from the olive groves directly to the mill. A favourable summer climate allows for cultivation with minimal treatments, protecting the innate quality of the fruit. By focusing exclusively on regional cultivars, the producer crafts an oil that reflects its geographical origins, yielding a clean, balanced, and consistent character.
How is it produced?
Production begins with a precise November harvest, conducted by hand and supported by electropneumatic aids. To preserve maximum vitality, the olives are crushed daily immediately after picking. The extraction process involves a first cold pressing and cold extraction at a rigorously controlled temperature, performed entirely away from oxygen to prevent oxidation. A subsequent light filtration enhances the overall purity, ensuring the oil maintains its intense profile and remarkable freshness for up to twenty-four months when stored correctly.
