"Riviera Ligure" - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 100% Taggiasche

Extra Virgin Olive Oil, "Riviera Ligure," is obtained exclusively from "Taggiasche" olives harvested in the Riviera dei Fiori of western Liguria, when they are perfectly ripe. Ripening is essential to obtain an oil with very low acidity, lively, sweet, and delicately almond-flavored; its strength lies in its delicacy: light, fresh, and clean fruity aromas.

This oil has obtained the "Riviera Ligure" designation, which defines the parameters from production to pressing and bottling.

The production regulations establish the olive harvesting period, which must take place by January 30 of each year.

After harvesting, the olives must be washed at room temperature and sent for oil extraction within 36 hours.

Each bottle must have a numbered collar that guarantees the origin of the oil to the consumer.

The "Oro" label guarantees protection of the oil from oxidation and aging caused by exposure to light and ensures that its organoleptic qualities remain unaltered.

The bottles are wrapped by hand, one by one.

The traditional Ligurian method of cold pressing in stone mills allows the high quality to be maintained for a long time. The oil is not filtered but decanted periodically. The veil at the bottom of the bottle is a sign of authenticity.

The oil can be defined as extra virgin olive oil if all stages of production take place at a temperature below 27°C, i.e. cold. Cold pressing also allows the physical and nutritional characteristics of extra virgin olive oil to remain unaltered and preserves all its organoleptic characteristics.
