Le Case di Lavinia BIO-DOP is a premium organic PDO extra virgin olive oil produced exclusively from 100% Tonda Iblea olives in the hills of Buccheri, Sicily.Cultivated at altitudes between 500 and 600 meters in the districts of S. Andrea, Loco Grande, Maddalena, and Tallarita, the olives are hand-harvested during the second week of October and cold-pressed within two hours of picking using a continuous two-phase extraction system.
The oil is stored in stainless steel tanks saturated with nitrogen and maintained at controlled temperatures to preserve its chemical, sensory, and organoleptic qualities.
Green and slightly veiled, it reveals an intense aroma of fresh, fruity olives, enriched by elegant notes of tomato, freshly cut grass, and artichoke.
We are situated in the Iblei Mountains, in Buccheri, on Monte Lauro, the ancient volcano. Our land is in the magical archaeological site of St. Andrew, between a necropolis and a Templars’ Gothic church, where for centuries olive trees reign uncontested. Our century-old organic olive groves are planted on 70 hectares of land.
They produce Tonda Iblea olives. Here, for 5 generations, we have been used to picking olives in September/October. We pick olives only by hand, and we press them that same day in an olive oil mill that operates on a 2-phase continuous process at extremely low temperatures and with very short pressing times to obtain only first-press organic extra-virgin olive oil.
The oil is then placed in steel containers, saturated with nitrogen, and stored in a controlled-temperature room. Le Case di Lavinia, our Monti Iblei D.O.P. extra virgin olive oil from the Monte Lauro under-zone, belongs to the intense fruity category and presents a harmonic balance between bitter and spicy notes, with a typical fragrance of tomatoes, artichokes, and green grass.
