Organic extra virgin olive oil produced by Rivellino is made through a well-controlled process where quality is always more important than quantity. Canino variety olives, harvested at an early stage of ripeness, are brought daily to the mill and subjected to a cold extraction system within a few hours. The extra virgin olive oil obtained is then carefully stored in stainless steel tanks under nitrogen atmosphere to keep its characteristics intact and bottled immediately before sale. The Canino is an ancient variety typical of the Lazio and Tuscan Maremma. The flavor of the oil derived from it is very balanced and pleasant, with its characteristic fruity notes of artichoke, green almond, and fresh herbs, sweet at first, and pleasantly spicy at the end, due to the presence of polyphenols that have important antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and hypocholesterolemic properties. The olives are harvested early when they still contain a high percentage of chlorophyll that gives our oil a particular emerald green color. This gradually transforms into a more golden hue over time. At the time of milling, the oil's acidity is 0.1-0.3 g/l, well below the required limit. An additional advantage of using Canino variety olives is the long shelf life of its oil.
