Bronze-drawn and slowly dried by Pasta Bertoli, in Santa Luce.

In short

Pasta Bertoli is known as a pasta factory, but grain isn't the only thing that comes out of Santa Luce. The "La Ghiraia" farm cultivates three thousand olive trees on its hilly and stony land, at the edge of a Mediterranean forest, and this organic extra virgin olive oil is born from those trees.

The label lists the varieties one by one — frantoio, razzo, leccino, moraiolo and pendolino — and the production method: olives harvested at the right point of ripeness, kept in aerated crates for a few hours, and then milled. It is that short interval between the tree and the oil press that determines everything else.

The tinplate can is not a mere whim: oil fears light more than anything else, and the can blocks it completely. One liter is the format for those who use it raw and want to finish it while it is still young.

In the kitchen

How long it takes, and what goes on top.

Goes well with When raw, where you can taste it: on bread, on ribollita, on legumes, on boiled vegetables. On a tagliata, a drizzle at the end of cooking.
