In short
There are almost four hundred olive trees, centuries old, which were abandoned for years and taken over again in 2021. They are cultivated without chemical treatments, using regenerative agroforestry practices, and the farm is in conversion to certified organic.
The olives are hand-picked and cold-pressed within a few hours: the interval between the tree and the milling determines how acidic the oil will be, because once picked, the fruit begins to ferment. The legal wording on the label is "superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means." Half a liter in a round white aluminum bottle: a format that is consumed before the oil ages, and it is the best way to enjoy it young.
In the kitchen
How long it takes, and what goes on top.
Goes well with Raw: on bread, on ribollita, on boiled vegetables, on legumes. In a pan, it loses precisely what you buy it for.

Two ways to look: the same line, or the same color.
La Foresta
A farm in Montevarchi, in the Valdarno: since 2021 it has been bringing back almost four hundred centuries-old olive trees left abandoned for years, grown without chemical treatments and converting to certified organic. The olives are picked by hand and cold pressed within a few hours. Beside the groves an apiary of more than fifty hives, stationary beekeeping: hive care, harvesting, extraction, jarring and packing are all done on the farm, by hand.
