Description
The Extra Virgin Olive Oil ESSENTIA GOCCE D’ORO, IGP “Colline di Firenze” comes from the varieties of frantoio, moraiolo and leccino olives, typical of the Florentine countryside, coming exclusively from the best olive groves which have been present for centuries in the territory of Fiesole. A splendid blend, a synthesis of tradition and territory, an excellent result that bears witness to the passion with which Giovanni Donnini has been committed to its enhancement for years. The olives of Leccino, Moraiolo and Frantoio varieties, all exclusively cultivated and harvested by hand in the Farm owned in Fiesole, are crushed on the same day of their collection at the Pruneti Oil Mill, that’s innovative and futuristic in crushing and bottling techniques, in order to limit the oxidation of the oil. The immediately filtered oil is then bottled in bottles of 0.25 and 0.50 cl thus ensuring a use with the maximum fragrance as needed.
