Our Oil

The extravirgin olive oil just crushed appears of a deep emerald green colour and has a intense and fruity taste, these qualities are obtained thanks to the particular conditions of the climate and to the sorts of the olive-trees and to the traditional way of cultivation , harvesting and crushing.

The typical particular characteristics of the extravirgin olive oil of Caldana , of the firm Il Poggetto di Mezzo are obtained thanks to the cold squeezing , to the manual harvesting of the olives at the right point of ripening .The harvesting is made in a very short-time , that traditionally occured in the period from the half of october to the end of november.
