Where it’s produced

The oil is produced from monoculture olives of the Caninese variety that are grown in a small olive grove located in Morone; the Muncipality of Bolensa (Viterbo). This oil comes from 16 olives tree that are over 70 years old. This plot is flat on a hill. The soil is of volcanic origin and is particularly fertile. The soil is mainly vegetal on a substrate of volcanic stone rocks (nenfro); always of tufaceous nature but much safer and more compact than tuff (used by the Etruscans for architectural and funerary works.)
