Olive Oil
Monte Castello ‘Silver’. Organic, H.S. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
At Monte Castello the result of severe pruning produces the highest quality fruit possible, which is then pressed within two hours of being hand-picked, a crucial step to maintain freshness and eliminate the risk of oxidation. As a result of natural filtration through muslin, so as not to bruise the oil, we have succeeded in producing by organic farming a limited production olive oil of exceptional finesse and quality.
By planting 60% Casaliva, 30% Leccino and 10% Pendolino olive varieties we have ensured Monte Castello has a unique quality characterised by its intense fruity flavour with a hint of pepper only found from the particular trees planted in this region of Italy.

Monte Castello ‘Gold Essenza’. Organic, H.S. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This, our gold label olive oil, is a premium free-run oil known as ‘Affiorito’ that comes from trees which are a minimum of 60 years old. These trees have been heavily pruned to produce a limited quantity of exceptional fruit. These ancient trees are located in a separate section of the olive grove and one can only describe this unique product as the pure essence of olive oil; there has never been an oil of this calibre produced before.
The harvest for the Essenza is not pressed and is only produced from the free run juice and as such is only available in strictly limited quantities each year.
