Extra virgin
olive oil

The Casalini company grows about 200 olive trees using the ORGANIC method, grown in pots and managed with targeted processing and pruning even several times a year. The olive groves are located at 250 m asl, partly south-west, partly south-east, on tufaceous hills of medium slope that gently descend from Palaia and overlook the Valdera. Given the location, balanced soils and sustainable management, average yields fluctuate around 2 liters of oil per plant. The oil fly in this context is marginal, but attention to its presence in the ripening phase of the olives is nevertheless maximum.
The olives are taken to the mill on the day of harvesting and pressed immediately, to maintain the maximum fragrance of the fruits and the resulting oil. Crushing and extraction take place at temperatures below 28 ° C, with a continuous crusher.
The 2022 vintage was excellent in our olive grove and the olive yields were more than satisfactory for all the varieties, despite the extreme drought and the great spring-summer heat, thanks to a sudden recovery in late summer after abundant rains in late August - early September, which accelerated fruit ripening, allowing good general yields to be achieved. The quality of OUR 2022 EVO oil is absolutely very high: total integrity, very low acidity values, delicate fruitiness of good intensity, medium - high content of polyphenols and vitamins, very harmonious and balanced taste, savory, intriguing and rightly spicy aftertaste.
