From Raffaele and Maddalena’s olive trees at La Quercia, on the edge of Viterbo, in the land of the Etruscans.
Every year is different: the weather, the trees, the hands. These are the numbers of the harvest in your bottle.
Raffaele and Maddalena’s olive trees grow at La Quercia, on the edge of Viterbo. This is the Tuscia: tufa hills and volcanic soil, the woods of the Cimini mountains, Etruscan tombs carved into the rock.
The Caporale was Raffaele’s uncle. This oil carries his name.
Superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means.
The tools have changed since the Etruscans; the gestures much less. This is how oil was made, and how we make it today.
Between October and November nets are spread beneath the trees and the branches are combed, olive by olive.
The online shop opens soon. Shipping within Italy, or pick up at the farm in La Quercia.
