Olive oil production

Tenuta Colfiorito – Colfiorito Farm- is situated on the lower slopes of the Tiburtine Mountains at an average altitude of 400 metres above sea level. This area has a particular type of microclimate far from the influence of the sea, which makes any attack from the oil fly extremely rare.

Cultivation is carried out in accordance with the principles of organic farming laid down in EEC Regulation 2092/91. The product is certified as organic also for the American market (NOP).

"Tu che sospinto dal desio di pace
per questi lochi vai, ospite amico,
di secondar lo mio consiglio face:

ogni tuo affanno e ogni pensier rio
lascia alla cura del mio corno antico,
e lieto vanne... Al resto penso io..."

Translation:

"O thou who driven by desire of peace, most friendly visitor, dost linger here, follow my counsel and all fretting cease:

all baleful troubles that do thee molest
let my old horn console with music dear
be happy and … to me leave all the rest..."

The oil is produced at the farm’s oil mill using a continuous two-phase working cycle and cold extraction. This makes it possible to obtain a high-quality olive oil, with a pleasing fruity fragrance, an intense but not overpowering taste, an acidity level that is always low, and superior organoleptic characteristics.

The average annual production today amounts to about 8,000 litres of organic extra virgin olive oil. As with all other stages in the manufacturing process, bottling is done on the farm. Bottles and cans of all sizes are available, and can be personalised.

This is a product of extremely high quality, as evidenced by the numerous prizes that have been won.

Alongside the classic "Colfiorito Estate" blend, two distinct varieties have been added:

"COCCEIO" bio extra-virgin, 100% mountain-grown, with an exceptionally sweet, aromatic taste;

- "ROSCIOLO" bio extra-virgin, produced from 100% rosciolo olives with a spicy, intense taste.
