canopies. The mild, always breezy climate and the suitable lands create a perfect habitat for these generous and long-lived plants. In the Ibleo area, the cultivars Biancolilla, Nocellara, Moresca, and Carolea are present, but the true queen of the territory is the Tonda Ibea. This is an indigenous variety that loves high-altitude positions and presents a slender trunk and a very dense canopy. Its olives are delicate and produce a very low percentage of oil (8-10%) but of excellent quality, characterized by very intense fruity aromas, with notes of tomato leaf, artichoke, and aromatic herbs of the Mediterranean scrub.

To ensure maximum quality, the harvest of the olives is done by hand, in order to select only the ripe fruits and leave the integrity of the tree intact. The olives are first washed with a modern and gentle water and air system. The crushing process then takes place to obtain the paste, which is then slowly and carefully mixed. Thanks to the use of modern centrifuges, the separation of the oil from the water and the extraction of the extra virgin is carried out while preserving all the precious aromas and scents. The oil is then filtered to eliminate all impurities and stored in stainless steel tanks under nitrogen, so that it is protected from the danger of oxidation until the moment of bottling.
