The farm “Il Grillo Parlante” covers an area of 15hectares, surrounded by wide open spaces with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside (mainly vineyards and olives groves) and the surreal County of Pitigliano. The farmhouse is set in a typical Tuscan landscape, rich colors and scents that characterize the “Maremma”, where nature surrounds you with his melodies in a relaxed atmosphere completely free of human contamination.
The olive grove of “Il Grillo”
Composed primarily of a few varieties of olives (Leccino, Frantoio, Moraiolo, Pendolino, Canino), surrounding the farmhouse creating beautiful avenues that show their full beauty in the middle of spring giving vibrant and intense colours.
During harvest, starting from early November and never beyond the end of the month, the olives are harvested by hand and then be pressed within 12 hours in the mill located close to the farm. The choice of an early harvest period is designed to ensure our oil a deep green colour with notes of bitter and spicy.
Once obtained by the method of cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil requires the same care and attention for conservation, so the farm meticulously ensures that storage is in the dark in steel barrels. The cold-pressed olive oil can maintain its flavor, colour and nutritional value.
The current medical research, recommends the use of olive oil feeding to prevent aging and preserve the body from cardiovascular disease.
The extra virgin olive oil, is not only a delight for the palate, or a simple seasoning, but a real food, is in fact a natural product whose use may be feeding on the body resulting benefits!
REMEMBER: A new oil crop is definitely a scent, colour and taste more alive, fresher and more pleasant than an old oil. So it will always be preferable for both the lowest degree of acidity (of which the most direct consequence is a better digestibility) and for the loading of these substances organoleptic with the passage of time should be lost, first of all polyphenols.
