The Olive Variety "Taggiasca"
Our agricultural company currently cultivates 2,000 "taggiasca" plants. The cultivated olive groves have an area of 4 hectares and 6,000 litres of oil is produced.
The "Cultivar Taggiasca" is, on average, a small olive type, whose black colour tends towards blue.
The olive is characterised by a sweet taste and a hint of almond. These characteristics are brought out by different means:
- By are step wise ripening of the fruits, brought about by the ground and the steep hills.
- By the relative height of our land, which reaches 500 meters above sea level at some points.
- By the breadth of our land, which can otherwise only be found in the region surrounding Lake Garda, in Spain, Tuscany or Southern Italy.
- By the traditional method (pressing using a special method with antique millstones and subsequent processing in a centrifuge).
Our philosophy for cultivation of our olive groves is not to use pesticides or other chemical fertilisers. Because of this our products are have been awarded biological certification.
