Why certify an extra-virgin olive oil? Pros and cons of certifications
7 February 2022The Flowering of Iris
5 May 2022Last March 190 young olive trees of two typical Tuscan varieties (maurino and leccino) were planted. Each plant (organic certified) is equipped with drip irrigation to allow a protection in case of drought. For irrigation, rainwater (collected and stored in special tanks) will be used firstly in order to limit as much as possible the consumption of underground water. To further limit water consumption, the plants are mulched with fresh grass cut nearby. In about 4 years, these young trees will be able to give us their first olives that will be used (together with those of the 300 maurini and leccini planted in 2017) to produce a single-variety maurino or leccino organic extra-virgin olive oil.
