The "SAXULA" extra-virgin oil has been produced by the farm since the 19 th century. In 1921, the oil from the cultivar olives of this blessed geographical region received a prestigious prize given by the sector's industrial association.
The grove consists of 1,000 age-old and 300 young trees spread across a surface of approximately 10 hectares at an altitude of 350 m on a hill, the Colle Faustino, named after one of the region's most famous inhabitants, Faustina, wife of the Roman emperor Antonino Pilo.
The blend of the cultivar leccino , moraiolo , rosciola , rotonda , itrana qualities, typical of the area, plus ideal climatic and environmental conditions have created the perfect combination between environment and variety, between timeless oil making skills and modern olive cultivation techniques, confer to the oil that characteristic green colour, very low acidity and that fruity twang which is the outcome of a fine balance between bitterness and spiciness.
The olives are hand picked directly from the tree and immediately ground and oil extracted. This allows the "Saxula" extra-virgin oil to maintain the sent and taste of this noble land.
