Olio Extravergine di Oliva - Cantina Ricchi

COLD EXTRACTED Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Our extra virgin olive oil is produced in the hilly areas of the province of Mantua near Lake Garda. The position, the altitude and the calcareous nature of these soils are in fact particularly suitable for the cultivation of the olive tree. ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: It is a delicate oil with a fragrant flavor with a light aftertaste of artichoke, the scent is fruity and recalls the scents of the fresh and healthy fruit of the olive. It has a yellow-gold color with green reflections. The “Ricchi” extra virgin olive oil, pure olive juice, is a healthy food rich in trace elements that are precious for our cells. These beneficial properties are typical only of oil obtained in strict compliance with correct cultivation systems, careful pressing of the olives, its packaging and conservation. Our extra virgin olive oil has an average acidity at the packaging of less than 0.5%. PROCESSING: In the months of October, November and December the olives are harvested when ripe and brought to the mill on the same day; they are then pressed and processed with the cold extraction of the oil to keep the natural organoleptic properties unaltered. QUALITY OF OLIVES: The olives destined for this production are of the Favarolo, Leccino and Frantoio varieties.
