Gocce d'oro

The extra virgin olive oil Gocce d'Oro is produced from olives of two variety, evenly distributed, Leccino and Gentile from Larino, a small city not far from the sea. The olives are harvested in October and November manually and directly from the plant, to maintain the nutritional characteristics of the fruit. We find in the oil a delicate scent of fruit and the typical spicy taste of the high quality oil recently worked. The olive groves are on a hill about 500 mt. above sea level, in an area where the microclimate has a good temperature range, not allowing the insects to easily reproduce themselves and avoiding the formation of parasites. This avoids the use of anti-parasitic and allows to obtain a genuine oil of high quality. Because of the climate not so favorable, the production per hectare is much lower compared to installations that are located at sea level.
