Our Cultivars: Tradition and Diversity in Every Drop
Our extra virgin olive oil is born from a careful selection of the finest native Umbrian cultivars. Each one offers distinct sensory characteristics, giving our oils a rich variety of aromatic profiles—authentic expressions of our land.
- Moraiolo
The most widespread cultivar in Umbria, appreciated for its resilience and naturally high antioxidant content. Though common across central Italy, it reaches its finest expression in the rocky soils between Assisi and Spoleto, especially around Trevi. It produces bold, complex oils with notes of fresh grass, artichoke, and spice.
- Dolce Agogia
A rare and precious cultivar native to the Lake Trasimeno area. It’s known for producing smooth, well-balanced oils with a delicate profile and hints of green almond and freshly cut grass.
- Frantoio
A classic and versatile cultivar, widely grown throughout Italy. It brings elegant, harmonious notes to blends, with medium to high fruitiness and a clear almond finish.
- Leccino
This early-ripening cultivar is prized for its soft, rounded flavor. It yields sweet, balanced oils with gentle almond notes and a smooth, delicate profile.
- San Felice
A lesser-known but highly aromatic cultivar from the area around the Abbey of San Felice near Giano dell’Umbria. It produces medium-fruity oils with herbaceous aromas and fresh almond notes—well-balanced and complex.
- Borgiona
A rediscovered cultivar once nearly lost due to its cultivation challenges. Today, it’s celebrated for its bold structure and uniqueness—it’s the only Umbrian cultivar known for distinct tomato notes in the oil.
- Tendellone
A rare native Umbrian cultivar that yields delicate oils with subtle notes of almond and artichoke.
