Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The art of making oil...

The Azienda Agraria Malvetani has produced extra virgin olive oil for more than a century, with methods and shrewdness that are faithful to the oldest local traditions, dating back directly to the Roman era (“De agricoltura” by M.P. Catone 234-149 BC). Oil is currently the main product of the company.
Of a golden green colour, with a “fruity” flavour that recalls the fragrant characteristics of the fresh fruit, it is obtained from olives which come exclusively from the specialist olive groves of the company, located in the upper medium hilly belt (250/500 m. s.l.m.) of the towns of Stroncone and Terni in southern Umbria.
The olives are collected from the tree in the initial stage of ripeness through the method of “hand stripping”, and are squeezed within 12/24 hours of the harvest, in order to be worked at their optimum freshness and entirety.
The oil is cold pressed – after suitable grading and washing of the olives – in a modern company crusher based on the simple centrifugation of the paste in perfect hygienic conditions.
The valuable varieties of the olive trees, mostly “Moraiolo” and “Leccino”, the agronomic nature of the lands, the microclimate of the olive tree slopes, and the most rational farming care, represent the best conditions to obtain a product that excels not only for its very low degree of acidity (far lower than the limit allowed by the current guidelines), but also for all the other chemical-physical and organoleptic characteristics. This has allowed them to achieve broad recognition at exhibitions, competitions, and sample stands. In 1997, it was also awarded the prestigious “Dino Villani” prize from the Accademia Italiana della Cucina.
