Among the hills of Sannio, lands impregnated by ancient Samnite and Lombard cultures, today one of the most important olive growing areas of southern Italy unfolds, with a millenary tradition of excellence in oil production. The Sannio, a territory magically linked to this traditional cultivation, expresses its great olive vocation in the scents and unique suggestions of its products.
The origin of this magic is in the favorable climatic conditions and in the heritage of ancient varieties of oil, only present in this territory. San Lorenzo Maggiore fits well in this magical setting of nature. The oil of Sannio, rediscovered by recent studies and researches, in recent years has reserved pleasant surprises for consumers, operators and experts, quickly gaining a position at the top of the national qualitative panorama.
The effort made in recent years in enhancing the ancient varieties in rationalizing the techniques of harvesting and transport in the mill, in innovating the systems of extraction and conservation of the product to preserve all the aromas of the olives, has made
grow the organoleptic qualities of oil production, which today can express the typical aromas of the main varieties of the Benevento area. The varieties in question are L'Ortolana, L'Ortice and Racioppella.
The Ortice variety, with a medium-late ripening, turns oils with an intense truffle aroma. with clear bitter and spicy notes. Good phenolic content and typical hints of grass and green tomato.
The Ortolana variety, also called Melella by the old olive growers, precisely because it is characterized by fresh aromas of vegetables and green apple. It provides a very fluid and delicate oil, unique, very fragrant, but easily subject to oxidation, if not preserved The Racioppella variety, on the other hand, is an olive with a very small fruit, from which an oil with an intense and light fruity aroma is obtained of grass.
Our company, with over 1800 millenary olive trees and a technologically advanced oil mill, but in full respect of tradition, is the most authentic expression of these places.
