The season in brief
From late September to December the mill in Villa San Giovanni in Tuscia works every day. The olives come from the area (Blera, Barbarano Romano, Villa San Giovanni in Tuscia, Vetralla), mostly brought in by local growers, and are milled within 24 hours of delivery.
The calendar
Late September: Settembre
The early pick: olives still green, a lower yield, a firmer oil. It becomes our Settembre, single-cultivar Caninese.
October: Ottobre
A few weeks later, with a better yield and a very similar character. Still single-cultivar Caninese, sold under the same Settembre label.
November and December: the blend
Olives milled later in the season become our blue-label extra virgin olive oil: a blend of Caninese, Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo, softer than Settembre.
How we work the olives
- Milled within 24 hours of delivery
