100% Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
With Olives Exclusively from Tuscany
The olives are harvested with great care, respecting the ripening stages of each cultivar, typically between early October and late November. Once hand-picked or gathered with the help of facilitators, they are processed within 12 hours to preserve their freshness and quality. This swift processing results in an oil that embodies the essence of Tuscan olive oil, offering a fruity aroma, a balanced bitterness, and a pleasantly spicy taste, all hallmarks of its superior quality.

PRESTIGIOUS NATIONAL AWARDS
These qualities have earned the extra virgin olive oil from L'Erta di Quintole prestigious national awards, including three first-place finishes at the Ercole Olivario National Award in the medium fruity extra virgin category.
The extraction of the oil is carried out by knife crushing in a modern two-phase continuous cycle system without the addition of water. The processing is performed under constant temperature control throughout its various stages: crushing, malaxation, and extraction.
Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil vs Others
a difference you can taste
Our extra virgin olive oil offers a distinct quality that sets it apart from most Italian oils available in both the U.S. and Italy. While many oils marketed as "Made in Italy" are often produced with olives sourced from cheaper regions like Spain, Greece, or Tunisia, ours is made exclusively from 100% Tuscan olives. We use four renowned varieties—Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio, and Maurino—all grown in the unique conditions of Tuscany’s ideal climate and rich soil.
What makes Tuscan olive oil exceptional is its fruity aroma, balanced bitterness, and pleasant spiciness, characteristics that reflect the region’s long tradition of producing some of the finest olive oil in Italy. Our oil is carefully crafted from hand-picked olives and processed within 12 hours of harvest, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor.
