Monte Castello ‘Silver’ D.O.P. Organic, H.S. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Monte Castello Silver

At the Agricola Monte Castello Estate, we resurrected an ancient olive grove 500 metres above Lake Garda in northern Italy which had over three hundred olive trees many of which were over 100 years old. With the help of a well known local agronomist who is the expert on the olive trees for this area we planted an additional 250 trees.

By planting 60% Casaliva, 30% Leccino and 10% Pendolino olive varieties, ensuring the taste has a wonderful harmonious balance.

We have also been granted Organic Certification, D.O.P (Delimited area of Production Guaranteed), and H.S. (High standard) certification which is only given to those growers who comply exactly with the stringent rules and regulations surrounding the production of the highest quality extra virgin olive oil.

The result of severe pruning produces the highest quality fruit, which is then pressed within two hours of being hand-picked, crucial to maintain maximum 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 a limited production olive oil of exceptional finesse and quality, the finest in the region.

Monte Castello ‘Gold ESSENZA’ D.O.P. Organic, H.S. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Monte Castello Gold

This extra special free run oil known as ‘Affiorito’ comes from trees that are a minimum of 60 years old which have been pruned severely to produce a small quantity of fruit of the very highest quality and are in a section of the olive grove that has been certified as pure organic. One can only describe this 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.

Both Monte Castello olive oils are characterised by their intense, fruity flavour with a hint of pepper.

These prestigious olive oils are completely free of cholesterol and high in antioxidants especially vitamin A, E and K, and serves as a perfect complement to all types of food.
