Production of Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva 3.0l - San Michele a Torri

The olives for this Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva 3.0l - San Michele a Torri ripen in the gently rolling hills southwest of Florence. Tuscany’s climate, with warm days, cool nights and a light breeze from inland areas, supports the slow, even ripening of the olives. Soils composed of marl, clay and limestone bring structure, minerality and aromatic depth to the oil.

The olive groves of Fattoria San Michele a Torri are cultivated under certified organic farming practices (IT-BIO-009). Careful tree maintenance, limited yields and selective work throughout the year promote concentrated aromas and clear varietal character. The harvest takes place at the optimum stage of ripeness to preserve freshness, spice and fruit equally.

After harvesting, the olives are quickly taken to the mill. Short transport routes and prompt processing prevent unwanted oxidation. Gentle mechanical processing in modern mills ensures high aromatic precision. Cold extraction at a controlled temperature preserves the essential oils, the delicate bitter note and the characteristic peppery spice of the San Michele a Torri estate.

The subsequent resting period in suitable containers allows the oil to clarify naturally. This keeps the texture clear and dense, while the aromatic spectrum remains precise and multi-layered. Bottling in the generous 3.0-liter container protects the oil from light and contact with air. The estate’s philosophy focuses on authenticity, character of origin and artisanal care rather than effects or over-extraction.

The result is an olive oil that reflects its Tuscan origin in an unadulterated way: herbaceous and spicy, powerful yet elegant. Each bottle showcases the signature of an estate that respects tradition while using modern technology selectively to ensure purity and clarity of flavor.
