All About our Extravirgin
Olive Oil

Territory - Origin

The “Assisi-Spoleto Olive Belt” is an Apennine piedmont landscape stretching for over 40 kilometers. It is a unique, unrepeatable heritage that involves six municipalities in the province of Perugia: Assisi, Spello, Foligno, Trevi, Campello sul Clitunno, and Spoleto.

Our Extravirgin BIO Demeter Olive Oil is obtained from 100% Umbrian olives, from the olive groves of the hilly territory that extends over the hills above Foligno (PG), 650 meters above sea level, owned by Fabio Ciri.

What do the certifications "Organic" and "Demeter" mean?

In our farm we apply two cultivation methods; organic and biodynamic farming with particular attention to typical quality produce from our territory.

The benefits of biodynamic agriculture, when compared with the mainstream agriculture (which uses synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides), are apparent in both the land and in the human health


"The Biodynamic agriculture is continuously confronted with conventional methods of agricultural production and it is always winning in terms of the benefits that produce is the soil. Such as the increase of organic substance, the presence of earthworms and beneficial microorganisms that allow a better function of the roots of the plants. Moreover, to the better nutritional quality that it gives to seeds and fruits that are cultivated."
