Il Bucolico is quality, history and poetry. This has been what we always wanted.

Features

Il Bucolico is of an intense green emerald color with golden tints. Its fruity odor rich, medium intense, with hints of artichoke, aromatic herbs and cardoon flower. The taste is in an harmonic way bitter and spicy.

The flavor medium fruity with a vibrant bouquet of grassy notes. The bitterness is due to the presence of polyphenols and biophenol known for their natural antioxidant properties.

Il Bucolico is a great oil that has the privilege of growing in a hilly area where nature is still uncontaminated, maybe one of the last areas in the Tuscia (special protected area) just north of Rome, with a magnificent view that extends towards the sea.

Production Process

Harvesting

The harvest starts at the end of September, when the olives, still green, give the best in quality: the oil yields less in terms of quantity but much more in terms of quality.

Processing

During the harvest, each day, the olives are placed in specific areated crates and at the end of the day delivered to the Mill to be processed by continuous cold extraction.

Storage

The produce is then stabilized by mechanical micro filtration and stored in steel tanks in a nitrogen atmosphere in order to protect the oil from phenomena such as fermentation and oxidation.
