Tuscan Organic Olive Oil: which characteristics?

Olive tree is an ancient typical plant of central-southern Italy, especially Tuscany and the area surrounding Florence.

Its fruit produces a precious nectar used to season and enhance food, commonly known as oil

What makes the Tuscan Organic Olive Oil so special?

Organic agriculture is indeed the best production method since it respects the natural fertility of the soil, the plants and the environmental balance: it barely uses chemicals or phytopharmaceutical fertilisers.

L’agricoltura biologica infatti è un metodo di produzione che utilizza tecniche rispettose della fertilità intrinseca del suolo, della natura delle piante e dell’equilibrio ambientale.

There are precise rules to be followed by farmers and preparers in order for their products to be certified as organic.

I regolamenti prevedono precise norme cui devono attenersi gli agricoltori ed i preparatori che intendono commercializzare come bio il loro prodotto.

Monitors compliance with these rules and shall issue the bio-certificate, if everything is regular.

 Se tutte le norme sono rispettate, l’azienda controllata ottiene la certificazione e potrà valersi in etichetta della dicitura bio.

Our Farmhouse I Millepini has gained this prestigious certification.
