Our olive oil
Extra virgin olive 100% italiano
We pick our olives when they are somewhere between fully green and total surface colouring. We prefer to pick green olives when they are mature but before they begin to change color, always taking into account the olive variety.
Although we do not get the major quantitative yields, we pick our olives in the very first weeks of October, milling them within 24 hours from harvesting so as to avoid the fermentation of the fruit. This is also the reason why we use an umbrella catcher for the harvesting. It avoids, as far as possible, the unintentional crushing of our small fruits that can happen when harvesting with classic ground nets.
We believe that only with care for details it is possible to produce an Extra Virgin Olive Oil characterized by potent scents and typical flavours.

Year 2020
This year the favorable climatic conditions and the limited presence of the oil fly have resulted in an excellent olive production. Contrary to the national average (about -30% in EVO oil production compared to 2019), the harvest grew by triple digits percentage over 2019, a year of zero production.In Gaia Sofia we picked 3300 kg of olives with an average EVOO oil extraction yield of 10.75%. Thus we produced about 370 litres of filtered extra-virgin olive oil. According to the chemical/organoleptic analysis provided by the Interregional Association of Olive Producers, our oil was classified as green medium fruity, with an excellent balance on the palate between bitter and spicy, as well as pleasant aromatic notes of almond, green leaves, aromatic herbs and artichoke.
