This extra virgin olive oil is obtained exclusively from the Lazzero olive variety, native to the Guardistallo, Casale Marittimo and Montescudaio (Pisa) areas.
The slightly fruity oil with hints of artichoke, almond and green tomato with spicy and bitter notes of medium intensity has a green colour with yellow reflections.
The Fop family’s farm is located in the Pisan Hills in Tuscany, just a few minutes’ drive from Cecina. It consists of 20 hectares of cultivated land, olive trees and woods surrounding an old farmhouse that once housed a monastery and has now been renovated for guests.
The Fop family, originally from an industrial background, has become entrepreneurs in organic farming and hospitality under the slogan of green building and environmental sustainability.
The olive trees are cared for and protected from insects and pests in a natural way. The olives are stored for a maximum of 4 hours after harvesting and pressed the same day in the in-house mill. A two-stage MORI-TEM mill without the use of water makes it possible to preserve all the ingredients of the oil.
Thanks to their commitment and attention to the ancient knowledge of the land, they have already won their first international awards in just a few years.
