Francesca De Leo Alberti: Lines

and Products

L&' Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Frantoio del Borgo line is obtained from the harvest carried out in the months of October and November. The harvest takes place using a shaker and comb with the olives falling on special sheets, collected and placed in boxes. They are taken to the mill, sorted and washed before final processing. The kneading takes place in closed and cleaned stainless steel tanks carefully between one processing and l&' another at a temperature that does not exceed 25 degrees. Finally, there is an extraction process with the latest generation centrifuges, which separate the oil from the oily must. Final, but important step, l&' extracted oil is stored at a controlled temperature of about 13/15 degrees in stainless steel tanks, to keep the organoleptic characteristics of the product intact. Subjected to natural decanting. L&' oil obtained from the two Ottobratica and Sinopolese cultivars, in proportion, creates a harmonious blend of delicate balance between fruity and spicy, yellow-green in color with an intense scent derived from chlorophyll.
L&' Extra Virgin is not a condiment but a real food, composed of many good and qualitatively important fats. Features that make it an elixir of long life. L&' olive oil is considered l&' the only fundamental food deriving from a fruit, rich in vitamins and antioxidants and protects against free radicals.
