Description
Superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means. How Grignano extra virgin olive oil is produced This is a monovarietal EVO oil obtained from the cold extraction of Grignano cultivar olives from the Illasi area, in the eastern part of Verona. The processing is carried out through mechanical processes, meaning without the use of chemical processes or substances, under conditions that do not cause alterations to the oil. Zero-kilometer olives The fruits used by Azienda Agricola Luigi Ruffo come from the company's own plots and are harvested in the autumn period only when the olive reflects certain characteristics and is ready to be picked. The attention given to the care of the plants and the ten days of harvesting ensure that the quality of the oil produced remains stable over the years and that the organoleptic characteristics do not undergo changes. So much so that Luigi, to verify the perfect harvest time, usually crosses his centuries-old olive groves in a small trailer and checks the state of the plants, one by one.
