The Olive Grove

B&B La Piantata

La Piantata Farm is in the heart of Tuscia (province of Viterbo), one of the world’s most renowned olives growing areas. The farmhouse overlooks a centuries-old, 45-acre olive grove planted with over 1700 olive trees of Canino variety only.

The olive grove is farmed with environment-friendly methods ensuring the area’s biological balance preservation. In this way the olives yield top-quality certified organic oil. A very scrupulous processing method is followed to obtain our extra-virgin olive oil. The olives are strictly hand-picked between the end of October and the middle of December and are immediately after cold-crushed with millstones.

The result is a unique and highly esteemed oil: an intense colour, a distinct flavour with fruity overtones and very low acidity, maintaining its long lasting unique characteristics. The oil is preserved in stainless-steel vats, away from light and heat until it is ready to be sold, ensuring the ideal protection against the oxidation, that could otherwise lead to rancidity.
