I.G.P. & BIO Extra Vergin Olive Oil

Genuine and Double Certified

From a renowned oil sommelier in the region that encompasses the hills of Senise, in the heart of Basilicata, comes Lucano BIO IGP extra virgin olive oil: a product that is not simply the fruit of the earth, but the result of a precise vision, a family culture rooted in time and a deep sensory and expert knowledge of those who have studied and handed down the craft.

Each vintage tells a story of landscapes, seasons, wind, rain, silence and carefully repeated gestures. But above all, it tells of a clear choice: to produce a genuine, traceable oil with a distinct identity, which comes solely and exclusively from olive groves belonging to the same farm, cultivated, harvested, selected, sorted, processed and bottled locally.

The quality of the oil comes from the land and the care of the trees. We prepare and monitor the quality of our products from the very beginning. We do not use pesticides or chemical fertilisers, we respect the natural balance of the soil and every process is constantly monitored. Harvesting is done by hand at the ideal moment of ripeness, and cold pressing is carried out within a few hours to preserve all the nutritional and aromatic properties.

The result is a green oil with golden reflections. The nose opens with fresh hints of cut grass, artichoke and green almond. On the palate, it is moderately fruity, with a fine bitterness and an elegant spiciness, perfectly balanced. It is ideal for use raw on vegetables, legumes, durum wheat bread, fish, white meats, fresh cheeses, freshly baked pizzas and bruschetta.

To evaluate an EVO oil, organoleptic analyses are carried out by certified equipment and institutes. To obtain certifications such as IGP and BIO, it is necessary to undergo these analyses periodically, as well as others related to the cultivation land and the control and monitoring of production traceability.

During a personal evaluation about an oil and its quality, there are a number of steps to take, many of which are similar to those for wine: on visual analysis, the colour should appear green to golden yellow, and transparency is also important; on olfactory analysis, it should be fruity with notes reminiscent of fresh grass, artichoke or tomato; on taste analysis, the flavour should be pleasant but can be sweet, bitter or spicy; on tactile analysis, a good oil should be slightly velvety and less oily than a common industrial oil.
